4-Seasons Trail - Winter Walk

Open
Nice Winterwalk, which you can hike up all the way to the mountain terminal, or simply ride the gondola up there, and stroll back downhill to the starting point of the hike from there.
Wide, groomed winter walking trail through the forest to the summit of Hochwurzen (1,852 m). You can either walk uphill to the mountain terminal of the Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen cable-car or take the cable-car and walk downhill.

From Schladming take provincial highway L722 (Rohrmoosstraße road) to Rohrmoos and continue until you reach Hotel Winterer at the valley terminal of the chairlift "Hochwurzen II".
From Hotel Winterer you follow Hochwurzenstraße road (the toboggan run) to the 1st hairpin. Here you turn-off right and follow the 4-seasons trail. You walk for quite a bit until you reach another hairpin (with turn-off to Neudeggalm). You make a left here and follow the signs towards Hüttecksattel and Hochwurzen. Via several hairpins you ascend to the mountain saddle of Hüttecksattel and from there you reach the Hochwurzen toboggan run in a couple of minutes. You follow the toboggan run uphill for about 400 meters (one hairpin) and reach Hochwurzenalm chalet. Another 200 m uphill you reach the summit of Hochwurzen and Hochwurzenhütte Inn.
