Gscheideggkogel

After the start at the parking lot Hinterradmer (1), 993 m, we follow the wooden signs in the direction of Schafböden along the Haselbach stream to the first crossroads. There, after crossing a small stream on the right, we go comfortably uphill in serpentines to the junction Schafbödenalm - Neuburgeralm, 1255m. Now we follow the forest road on the left, then the ascent tracks of the ski tourers up to the Schafbödenalm (2), 1583m. Here we already have free alpine pastures in front of us and enjoy the view. We continue - again following the ski touring ascent tracks - in a northerly direction to the ridge, where we are rewarded with wonderful views of both our destination, the Gscheideggkogel and the Lugauer (Styrian Matterhorn). Now follows a small counter ascent. To avoid any snow cornices, we keep slightly below the ridge until we reach the Gscheideggkogel (3), 1788m. The descent follows the ascent route with possible shortcuts between the switchbacks.

• In general, all winter tourists in this area should inform themselves about the designated winter resting zones for wildlife and the associated ban on entering the area at the Gesäuse National Park.
• The indicated walking time is to be understood as a guideline, as it depends on the snow conditions, the terrain and the presence of a trail. The individual's physical condition and stamina for strenuous trail work also play an important role. Sometimes the duration of the tour can change considerably due to large amounts of new snow, broken slush, soft sulzing snow, etc.
