The funicular railway takes you comfortably to the mountain station. From there, follow the signs to Teichlboden. Please only walk along the edge, skiers have priority. The snowshoe trail (4.6 km) leads along the Wurzeralm high-altitude trail and is signposted. Before heading home, you can stop for refreshments in the various huts at the mountain station and enjoy the sunshine and the mountain panorama.**The most important tips for snowshoeing off our trail:** - Careful tour planning! - If you want to set off without a guide, you should choose a tour destination suited to your level of ability, find out about the local wildlife protection and restricted areas and respect them. - Adapted behaviour - you move in unsecured alpine terrain at your own risk. - For commercial use (guided snowshoe tours), permission must be obtained from the landowners.
