Turn-by-turn directions

Leaving Ramsau Ort, take the Panorama Trail West to Dachstein road's toll station. From there, the Duregg trail, a steep loop of the Hierzegg Ramsau quarter, gives you great access to the Ramsau Alm region. The secluded but very beautiful path leads through the forest up to 1.700 m a.s.l. Splendid alpine pastures with impressive views to the Dachstein will reward your efforts. You can walk back to Ramsau Ort along the Tannenweg path.
