Description:

In order to sustainably improve the infrastructure on the mountain and prepare it for future requirements, Hinterstoder-Wurzeralm Bergbahnen AG is launching an important construction project in summer 2025: the first construction phase for snowmaking on the Frauenkarpisten slopes.

Here is all the information about the schedule, affected areas in the hiking area, technical details and contacts.

Construction period:
🗓️ From the beginning of July to the end of October 2025

⚠️ Important notice:
The Frauenkarlift will only be in operation on Saturdays and Sundays in July 2025.

Site plan Wurzeralm

Tip: For an undisturbed mountain experience, we recommend starting the themed circular trail "2 million years in 2 hours" in an anti-clockwise direction. This way, you can avoid the construction site traffic and reach the Brunnsteinersee lake and the continuing hiking trails in a relaxed manner.

Hike from the Wurzeralm via the Brunnsteinersee to the Rote Wand, Toter Mann and on to the Warscheneck.

From the mountain station of the Wurzeralm mountain station, hike to the Brunnsteinersee, until which point you are on a gravel road. From the Brunnsteinersee, there begins a steep, though harmless climb to the Rote Wand saddle.

Continue by hiking up along the ridgeline, across the Speikwiese to the shoulder. Now comes a short hike down to where the Toter Mann begins to rise (surefootedness a must).

From the Toter Mann, a gently ascending rocky plateau leads up to the summit of the Warscheneck.

Trekking trail No. 201 drops down to the Zellerhütte and continues to Vorder- and Hinterstoder.
