More information

S6 Semmering motorway, exit Mürzzuschlag. Continue in the direction of Ganztal as far as the Bärenkogelsattel.

We start our ascent to the Ganzalm at the Bärenkogelsattel, where we park our car. Now we follow the ever-so-slightly ascending path to the Ganzalmhaus. Once there, we stop for a bite to eat at the Ganzalmhaus and fortify ourselves for the descent. We then return to the Bärenkogelsattel on the same route we took uphill.

The Ganzalmhaus can also be reached via a mountain bike route, the wind+bike park Pretul routes.

If you want to hike further and still have some reserves, we recommend the Amundsenhöhe or even the Stuhleck summit.

You can find all bus and train connections to Mürzzuschlag at www.oebb.at or www.verbundlinie.at. Unfortunately, the Ganztal cannot be reached by public transport, so we recommend hiring a taxi:

Mürz Taxi - T: +43 (0)3852 6070,

Taxi Schneeweiss - T: +43 (0)3852 4377

Taxi Ellmeier - T: +43 (0)3852 30303
