The tour

The altitude gives the new high-altitude trail on the Rittisberg its name. The trail runs at an altitude of approx. 1 500 m around the summit of Ramsau's local mountain and is a highlight for landscape lovers. It also leads you directly past the summit cross of the Rittisberg, where you have a magnificent view of the Dachstein south walls. The starting point is at the mountain station of the Rittisbergbahn, at the Rittisstadl.

You can reach the starting point with the new Rittisberg combination cable car - the lift ticket is also the cross-country ski run ticket for the high-altitude cross-country ski run.

Turn-by-turn directions

From the mountain station or the Rittisstadl at approx. 1,500 m above sea level you start walking west. After approx. 250 m follow the right lane and now run slightly uphill over a few hairpin bends in the direction of the highest point of the trail at 1,555 m above sea level. At the highest point of the trail, the summit cross of the Rittisberg awaits you with a lookout tower and a fantastic view of the Dachstein south walls and the Schladminger Tauern.

It continues flat at first and then slightly downhill to the westernmost point of the trail. Over 3 hairpin bends it goes downhill to the lowest point at 1,435 m above sea level and from there, steadily and slightly uphill, back in the direction of Rittisstadl and the mountain station. About 250 m before you reach it, you can branch off to the left for another round or run straight back to the starting point.
