Ski tour from Mahdtalhaus to Toreck

Ascent

The route starts at the Mahdtalhaus in the hamlet of Innerschwende, which can be conveniently reached by bus (see "Arrival"). First, we orient ourselves at the clearly visible overview board, climb the open slope straight up to a hut, and continue along the forest edge. The further route through the forest up to the forest road and onwards to the Grafenküren Alpe is marked with green direction signs from the "Naturally on Tour" campaign. From there, it continues below the rock face rising on the left until the terrain opens upwards. Continuing to ascend through structured terrain up to a hollow, crossing a narrow section, and up to the summit.

Descent

The descent follows the ascent path.

Complete ski touring equipment including avalanche emergency equipment: avalanche transceiver, shovel, and probe (standard); optional backpack with avalanche airbag

Off marked pistes and trails, everyone is personally responsible and travels at their own risk and must inform themselves about alpine dangers, especially avalanche danger. Weather conditions and snow circumstances may require changes to the route.
