The slope is 4km long and the difference in altitude is 900m. On the top of the mountain you can enjoy a fantastic view and boost yourself with traditional meals in the alpine cabin. You can either go by car, take the city bus (Mo-Fr) or a taxi to the valley station of the Katrin Cable Car, which is the point of departure. The tour starts on the former ski slope. After about one hour, you can choose if you stay on the slope or follow the forest road through the Windengraben. Both tracks are always laid. Though the tour is usually not affected by avalanches, you should always carry your avalanche rescue gear with you and know how to use it!
