Ski touring
The Gesäuse has a lot to offer. And some things it doesn't. Above all, no lifts. That means, especially in winter: If you want to go up, you need your very own drive. No gondola, no chairlift - the only way to reach the summits, even in winter, is by muscle power. No pain, no gain. Or also: The Schnapserl must be earned.
When it comes to ski touring in the Gesäuse, the mountaineering village of Johnsbach comes into play right away, as it is considered a ski touring El Dorado thanks to its good snow and mountain location. That's why the Kölblwirt had the idea of setting up a real touring ski test center (with equipment to try out). So Johnsbach: a popular starting point for winter mountain tours! By the way, due to its great popularity, a trip during the week or outside the vacation season is a hot tip!
Another special feature in the Gesäuse are the selected National Park ski tours, which feature winter markings that are always visible, ensuring that you don't snatch the wildlife from their well-deserved winter rest and that you don't get lost yourself. Also special is the quality of the descents in the Gesäuse and the view into a nature full of small and large winter wonders.
