Arriving from the west:From the west you can take the Munich-Salzburg motorway, continuing on the Tauern motorway (A 10) until the Ennstal junction. From here take the Ennstal A-road (the B 320) for around 30 km into the Schladming-Dachstein region, then take the Ramsau am Dachstein turn-off.

Arriving from the north:From the south-east take the Pyhrnautobahn motorway (A 9) to the Liezen junction and then the Ennstal A-road (B 320) into the Schladming-Dachstein region. Then take the Ramsau am Dachstein turn-off.

From the mountain station you go down in a northerly direction. At the Schladminger lift turn right and follow the path to the valley station. Here you follow the marking No. 674 to the 2-seater chairlift valley station. The marked trail leads you in a southeasterly direction up and down over a barren landscape. After about 1.5 hours you reach the Feisterscharte where you already have a view of Guttenberghaus. Now the path leads over 1,000 meters in altitude down to Ramsau.
