Snow shoe tour to Gasselhöhe

A short snow shoeing tour on Reiteralm with impressive views over the Ennstal valley and to the Dachstein massif.

From Gleiming you take Reiteralm cable-car "Silver Jet" and then continue via "Gasselhöhe" chairlift to Reiteralm. From the top of the chairlift you start snow shoeing to the South. A first easy ascent takes you uphill before the second ascent - which is a bit steeper - brings you up to the summit of Gasselhöhe mountain. At the wooden cross on top you enjoy the views of Schladming Tauern mountain range and the Dachstein massif as well as of the Ennstal valley.
