Map, elevation profile & further information

Starting at Neustattalm, the path follows through a larch forest to the Maralmboden and onto the Bachlalm. Partly over scree fields, the path leads up to the Tor, the natural notch between the Raucheck and Torstein mountains. A short, but steep descent along Pernerweg (path no. 617) passes Dachstein's south face along to the Südwandhütte. From there, make your way back down to the Dachstein gondola base station and follow the Dachstein road to your starting point.
