Easy to reach with the Petzenbahn, but you can also get up very nicely over the western flank. From above and on the ridge during the ascent there is a magnificent view of the Alps!

Kniepssteig Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Kniepssteig is currently closed due to construction work. Diversion via the Feistritzer Steig, not bad either 😉.
The paths merge again at the top, so everything is ok.

View of Carinthia

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here, you ascend along or under the ski lift on the wide mountain ridge. The view back into the flat valley landscape is impressive, as is the view uphill towards the mountain massif.
