Ski tour Nostra - Runseck

From the last houses in Nostra (access by car possible via road), the ski route leads fairly steeply through the forest via the summer path until you reach the alpine road again on flatter terrain. Via small detours and the alpine trail, you come to a fork near a hut. Here you leave the alpine trail again and follow the summer path partly through lightly wooded terrain and across beautiful meadows up to the base of the summit. This is climbed on the west side starting with some hairpin turns, and from the south you finally reach the summit of Runseck.

Beautiful panoramic view, into the Gail valley to the east, the gentle slopes of the Gailtal Alps to the north, deep into the Lesach valley to the west, and majestically the Biegen mountain range to the south. It is best to descend along the ascent track. The summit slope can also be descended a bit on the east-north side. However, this descent is steep and the conditions must be very good. After the summit ridge, it is also possible to descend slightly northwest over beautiful slopes to Nostra alp. From there, the alpine trail leads back to the ascent track. Nice route that can also be undertaken with skillful track setting even in higher snow conditions.
