Pfaffensattel - Stuhleck, Rettenegg

Closed
Short ski tour from the Pfaffensattel car park up to the Alois-Günther-Haus and back again.
From the Pfaffensattel car park, you can either take the Forsteweg trail or walk up through the forest to the Stuhleck summit cross. The tour should be planned on sunny days and the wind strength should be taken into account in the weather forecast!

It is also essential to pay attention to the avalanche warning level, even if it is an easier tour, it should never be underestimated.

 

ATTENTION: The ski tour is only possible with sufficient snow!
