From the Wurzeralm car park, first follow the ski tour route along the piste until you turn right onto a forest road at a good 1,000 meters. Follow this forest road, which leads past a quarry and over a few serpentines up to the Schmiedalm alpine pasture. From the alpine pastures to the north and soon down to a memorial at a karst spring in hell. From here it goes past some large rocks up to the Teichlboden near the Wurzeralm. Here you follow the forest road up to the mountain station of the funicular. You can comfortably descend on the Wurzeralm valley descent. **SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:** - Do not leave the marked tour and departure zone! - Use at your own risk! - Know your own limits – avoid overexertion! - Before starting the tour: check the avalanche warning (www.lawinen.report) - Non-organized ski room - descent at your own risk! **FAIR PLAY RULES** - Good preparation is everything. Therefore we take into account the current weather and avalanche report for our tour. - Wild parking creates chaos and traffic delays. That's why we start from the designated parking lot - or, where possible, let the local shuttle service take us to the starting point. - We do not go on night ski tours outdoors. For ski tours on the piste, we adhere to the local piste rules. - Winter is hard enough for the deer. That is why we keep the greatest possible distance from the animals and their feeding stations. - We give a wide berth to young forest with trees under 3 m. Because there are young trees hidden under the snow cover, which we don't want to damage. - Garbage has no place in nature. That's why we dispose of packaging, cigarette butts, dog waste bags, etc. in the nearest garbage can. - What must be must be. We still look for each other to take care of the needs a place where no one will disturb you.
