The Mariazeller Bürgeralpe offers 3 ascent routes for touring skiers. These can be combined at will. We start the ski tour at the chairlift valley station in St. Sebastian (here we can also park our car free of charge).

Now we follow the practice slope "Zuckerwiese" and keep to the right until we reach the "FIS II - Family Downhill". There we turn right into the forest and follow the touring ski trail through the forest. Partly next to the ski run and partly next to the toboggan run, we then reach the summit after about 1 hour.

After the ascent, a stop at the mountain inn or the Edelweißhütte is a good idea and afterwards we enjoy the descent on one of the perfectly groomed slopes.

Rest at the Edelweißhütte or at the Berggasthof Bürgeralpe
