Despite its short length, this loop offers everything a cross-country skier's heart desires - no wonder cross-country ace Mika Vermeulen calls this trail his favorite loop. The loop is groomed for both classic and skating styles and offers short, crisp climbs, fast descents, and flat sections for smooth gliding. The trail thus invites you to complete several laps, but can also be easily combined with the Vorbergloipe, as part of the Kulm-loop, or with the Zottl-Schleife. On the way out towards Märchenwiese, you sometimes get the feeling of literally skiing right into the Schladminger Tauern.
