The Schützensteig is at most S2, more like S1-S2, and can be ridden even in pouring rain. In heavy storms the path becomes a stream and can be badly damaged. In recent years parts of the path have been washed away, bridges have been washed away, trees have been lying across the path, but I think this problem exists everywhere in the Alps now.

Yesterday in the sunshine, I would say S2 is best for the section from the hunter hut down to Plansee. The way from Neuschwarnstein up to the Hunter's Hut is S0 and just a matter of condition.
