Beautiful winter route through snow-covered forests over the Kaisereben meadow to the Schoberalm. A visit to the Öhlerschutzhaus is worthwhile; it is known for its excellent cuisine. Please observe the opening hours.
- safety instructions Particular caution is required in winter when moving in the mountains. Keep in mind when planning routes that your timing can be disturbed by even a small incident, especially in winter. A weather change or a technical defect on the snowshoes can noticeably hinder your progress. Furthermore, remember that it can get dark as early as 4:00 p.m. in winter and spending a night outdoors in winter can quickly become life-threatening.Also remember that markings can be invisible due to snow in winter and therefore prepare well for your route!Mountain rescue emergency number 140EU emergency number: 112Avalanche info: http://www.lawinenwarndienst-niederoesterreich.at/
