The Mariazeller Bürgeralpe offers 3 ascent routes for touring skiers. These can be combined at will.

We start the ski tour at the cable car valley station and walk along the cable car access road towards the Hofstatt lift. Once at the Hofstatt lift, we follow the connection to the Franz-Kuss downhill run. After a short time we reach the Stehralm and follow the Franz-Kuss downhill run. After the first ascent, we branch off to the right into the forest in the direction of Hohlensteinhöhle. Before we come to the next crossroads, we turn left into the forest and follow the path towards Bürgeralpe. As a conclusion, another decent climb up through a blow, after which we can already see the mountain lake and crystal lake. We take the path to the right along the lake and arrive directly at the Edelweißhütte on the Mariazeller Bürgeralpe. Now we can continue, past the lookout, to the mountain inn and then enjoy the descent on one of the well-prepared slopes.

Optionally, the tour can also be started via the Feichteggerwiese.

Rest at the Edelweißhütte or at the Berggasthof Bürgeralpe
