Thanks to its south-facing location and its course above the main road in Schildlehen, this trail impresses with a sunny cross-country skiing experience and simultaneously offers a great view across the Ramsau plateau into the Schladminger Tauern. The cross-country ski trail is quite easy with gentle inclines and is therefore also well suited for beginners. The Sonnenloipe West **connects to the Standardloipe West at the beginning** and has a connection at the Grahstadl junction to the Lärchenwaldloipe and back to the Standardloipe West or the Stadionloipe.
