Rittisberg Loop

An all-weather family hike to traditional huts.

The forest-covered mountain Rittisberg is maintained by the forest cooperative though many local farmers own shares of the land.

In winter, the Rittisberg is being used for alpine- and nordic skiing. Rittisloipe is one of the most beautiful and longest cross-country trails within the plateau's 205 km long network.

In summer, its forests offer various hiking and refreshment opportunities.

From Ramsau Beach, follow the road to Tischelberger and Greimelbacherhof, where a beautiful forest path will lead you across beautiful meadows to Halseralm. 

Continue uphill, through the forest to Sonnenalm. For the next 20 min, you will hike along a narrow path which will join a wider forest path. This will take you on a slight descent to Ochesnalm.
