The tour
One of the most beautiful and easiest walks in the Ramsau alpine pastures, with imposing mountain panorama. The trail starts near Hotel Türlwand along at trail no. 6 and then slightly downhill, across alpine meadows without much difference in altitude and through the larch forest to the Austriahütte. Ascent to the Brandriedel with a magnificent view of Ramsau, the Dachstein and the Schladminger Tauern. From Brandriedel back to the Austriahütte, then down to the Brandalm with the mountaineers' memorial and the Dachsteink Chapel, along the wide 5 Hütten trail back to Hotel Türlwand.
Turn-by-turn directions

From Hotel Türlwand, follow path no. 6 slightly downhill through a larch forest and alpine pastures, to the Austriahütte. 

Walk up to the hilltop Brandriedel (approx. 10 min). From Brandriedel, make your way back down to Austriahütte. Follow a path to the left to Brandalm.  From there, walk along the wide Five-Huts Trail back to Hotel Türlwand.
