Ortnersteig Trail

Highlight • Trail

Route 04 (Ortnersteig) is also very nice on warm, dry days, as the sun shimmers beautifully through the forest, but the sun doesn't heat you up too much

Actually, the summits of Katzenstein and Schönberg were planned, but I got fed up with the scrambling and turned back just before the summit. I wouldn't do this tour a second time, it wasn't for me 🤷‍♀️

The basic idea was to climb the Traunstein.

However, the weather was too uncertain. That's why we decided to circle the Traunstein. This is a great and varied route!

An improvement in the weather made it possible for us to climb the Katzenstein. Great experience!

Super great tour. The descent to Laudachsee is via an easy via ferrata. Which is equipped with wire ropes and crampons. Additional climbing equipment not required.

Showing Translation

A wonderfully varied tour. The Gassner Steig has it all 🤗.
