Rosenkogel

One of the most popular, easy and very frequently used ski tours in the Murtal adventure region. Due to the wooded area and the possibility to use relatively flat terrain areas, the Rosenkogel is well doable even in bad weather or poor snow conditions. Great view mountain. Note the winter closure of Sommerthörl!
With 670 Hm a, also for beginners feasible ski tour in the adventure region Murtal. The terrain is quite easy and offers many possibilities. Beginners can ski the technically simple forest trail, for more experienced tourers there are several options to get to the desired downhill enjoyment. The tour on the Rosenkogel is also very good and easy to extend, Schneegrube or Schöntal would be good options. Both require a short counter ascent.

Note the winter closure of Sommerthörl!
