"Lawinenstein - Tauplitzalm"

You can either drive up to the valley station of the gondola lift in your own car or take the Tauplitzalm Alpenstraße ski bus.

The ride on the 8-seater gondola lift offers the first views of the Bad Mitterndorf valley, the Grimming, Dachstein and the Tauplitzalm ski area.

After getting off at the mountain station, walk straight down into a hollow and follow the blue signs. Past the valley station of the summit lift, the trail leads on the right-hand side of the lift to the summit of the Lawinenstein at 1,965 m. From near the summit cross, you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of Grundlsee, the Totes Gebirge, Grimming and Ennstal.

The same route then leads back again. Passing the gondola lift mountain station and to the left of the T-bar lift, the trail leads down into a valley to the cable connecting lift and along the edge of the ski slope up to the Kriemandlhütte.

After a leisurely stop for refreshments, return to the gondola lift.
