Through woods and meadows, the trail leads uphill to the summit of Rittisberg. From the summit cross, we enjoy the panoramic view of the Dachstein's south face, which seems to be almost within reach. Soon after we get to the Rittisberg-Stadl. The view of the Ennstal is a special treat here.

Hosts of alpine huts and mountain refuges have a lot of experience in the mountains and can give good advice about weather and the trails. Poor equipment, overestimation of one's own capabilities, carelessness, poor personal constitution and/or wrong judgement can lead to critical situations. In case of thunderstorms: avoid summits, ridges and steel ropes. **GPS data and orienteering** Available GPS data - just like hiking maps - is only a guidance for orientation and can never depict a trail exactly with all its details. Especially at dangerous spots it is essential to judge on site how to proceed. **In an emergency please call:** - 140 - for Alpine emergencies (all over Austria) - 112 - European GSM emergency number Good walking shoes and custom-fit Nordic Walking poles are the standard equipment. We also recommend a belt for carrying a drinking bottle. read more The entire trail is suitable for prams.Tourist information: [www.schladming.com](http://www.schladming.com)Information about bus schedules: [www.rvb.at](http://www.rvb.at) - Hiking map ‘Hiking WEST’ available at the information offices in the region. - Schladming hiking map, 1:25,000, available at the Schladming information office. - Hiking map Schladming-Dachstein, 1:50,000, available at the information offices in the region. - Hiking guide Schladming-Dachstein by Herbert Raffalt, available at the information offices in the region. read more [Fullscreen](https://maps.schladming-dachstein.at/v2/en/gdi_winter/2d/-1/detail/-1/-1/-1/4422/121381108) Wheather predicition ---------------------- today 12.11.2026 Mountain 7°C Valley 10°C Snow Mountain 8 cm Valley 0 cm Wind speed Südwest 5 km / h Precipitation Probability 90 % Amount 33.3 l/m² Sun Sun hours 0.6 h Sunrise 07:05 o clock Sunset 16:33 o clock Fair in the morning, then increasingly cloudy.
