The tour

This ski tour definitely belongs on your winter to-do list. You start at the Wörschachberg and go up to Schönmoos. Across forest and alpine pastures you walk along the ridge to the summit of the Raidling.

Turn-by-turn directions

Starting from the Oberkogler Alm you walk along the forest road to Schönmoos. From there, continue through the forest in the direction of the Langpoltenalm, past the rugged walls of the Hochtausing. From the Langpoltenalm, expert knowledge of snow and avalanche awareness is required. Via the Langpoltenalm you follow the summer path to the Klamml and the so-called Grazer Steig to the "Gott sei Dank Bankerl". Afterwards you stride right along the ridge ridge to the summit of the Raidling. For the descent, you either choose the same route as for the ascent or the enjoyable deep snow descent on the north side of the Raidling to the Hochmölbinghütte. From there it's a short climb to the "Gott sei Dank Bankerl", where you reach the ascent track again and return to the starting point.

Getting there

Leave the Ennstal federal road (B320) in Wörschach. In the village, turn off in the direction of Wörschachberg and drive up to the Oberkogler Alm.
