Winter hiking from Dienten to the Steinbockalm

The trail starts at the car park of the Grünegg toboggan run. From there we follow the toboggan run until we arrive at the Grünegg Alm. Here the prepared winter hiking trail starts in the direction of Filzensattel/Gabühel. Trail no. 50 first crosses the ski slope and then we reach the Gabühel/Filzensattel fork. Now we follow trail no. 51 uphill in the direction of Gabühelhütte/Steinbockalm. We have to cross the ski slope again to follow the prepared trail or we choose the forest trail (yellow signs) to the Gabühel hut. On the normal path we reach the mountain station of the Gabühelbahn - there we pass to the left until we reach the Steinbockalm. From there we have a wonderful panoramic view of the valley and the majestic Hochkönig. The way back is via the same route - otherwise you can also choose the descent with the 10-person Gabühel cable car. Tickets are available directly at the cable car!

Stay on the marked hiking trails. Small steps and a steady pace save energy going uphill and protect your joints going downhill. If you tilt your upper body slightly forward when going downhill, you reduce the risk of slipping. Check the weather forecast. Fog and bad weather can come surprisingly quickly. Turn back in good time before you take a risk. Do not leave waste in the countryside
