Philosopher's Way

This beautiful little walk follows a babbling brook to Ramsau Ort or Ramsau Kulm. 
Ramsau’s sun plateau offers ideal surroundings for winter walks at the foot of the Dachstein - separated into winter walking trails and paths. From the beginning of the winter season, the paths/tracks will be groomed and open to walkers as well as horse-drawn sleighs.
