More information

The Michaelerberghaus can be reached through Pruggern.

The broad gravel path leads through the forest. The trees give shadow on hot days. Again and again you pass beautiful vantage points into the Sattental and Ennstal. Shortly before the Stiegleralm, the path becomes steeper again over the last 500 metres.

Safety informationSafety on the mountainside: changes in the weather, sudden fall in temperature, thunder storms, wind, fog and snow fields are all objective dangers and require the correct behaviour whilst underway. The landlords of the huts are all very knowledgeable about the mountains and can give you good tips about the weather and the routes. Insufficient equipment, exaggerated opinion of ones capabilities, frivolousness, poor health condition and a false evaluation of the situation can lead to a critical situation. In thunder storms: summits, crest-sites and safety rope aids are to be avoided.
