Hiking
Starting at the Schneeberg chairlift valley station, you’ll set off along the rooty Weningersteig and follow it to Breiten Ries. From there, the route continues along the Nördlicher Grafensteig and Faden trails before a refreshment stop at the Edelweißhütte or Almreserlhaus. The return brings you back to the start point via the chairlift trail.
As well as superb views, the hike is a delight for budding botanists and geologists. You’ll find it difficult not to be impressed by the mountain’s power when admiring mighty gullies and rockfaces of the Breiten Ries. Quality hiking footwear, poles, plenty of water, and waterproofs are recommended, as the often rooty and sometimes steep trails are more technical than most.
You can access the start point via the 350 bus from Puchberg train station. The mountain huts on the route provide ample opportunities for snack breaks.
