Rittisberg 1500
Closed
NEW from winter 2022/23 is the high-altitude trail on the Rittisberg. This runs at an altitude of 1 500 meters on average.
The altitude gives the new high-altitude trail on the Rittisberg its name. The trail runs at an altitude of approx. 1 500 m around the summit of Ramsau's local mountain and is a highlight for landscape lovers. It also leads you directly past the summit cross of the Rittisberg, where you have a magnificent view of the Dachstein south walls. The starting point is at the mountain station of the Rittisbergbahn, at the Rittisstadl.
You can reach the starting point with the new Rittisberg combination cable car - the lift ticket is also the cross-country ski run ticket for the high-altitude cross-country ski run.
