Schneeberg enjoyment route

The hike to the 1,921 meter-high Schneeberg promises you a wealth of moments of enjoyment and adventure. One of these moments is undoubtedly the overwhelming feeling of fulfillment when you reach the summit. Start your ascent comfortably with the Karbachalm cable car, which gently takes you up. Once at the top, look out for path no. 15, which leads you directly to the summit of Schneeberg. Who knows, maybe there are still enough snow remnants up there for a playful snowball fight in summer? From there, continue gently downhill through bilberry bushes and heather, past wind-swept trees, until you reach a junction where you can turn onto path no. 75. Always with a view of the Hochkönig, the path leads to the Klinglbergalm and then further to the Tiergartenalm. Via a forest road, you finally reach the Dientner Sattel. Now it's time for a well-deserved refreshment at the cozy Dientalm. The hiking bus will then take you back to the valley station of the Karbachalm cable car in Mühlbach.

Self-assessment: Before every mountain hike, check your physical fitness and correctly estimate your strength as well as that of your companions – especially your children! Surefootedness and a head for heights are often very important!

Planning and preparation: Plan every intended mountain hike carefully beforehand. Hiking maps and guides as well as information from alpine clubs and locals such as mountain guides and hut hosts can be helpful.

Equipment: In the mountains, you need appropriate equipment and clothing, especially sturdy, high footwear with a grippy sole. Weather and cold protection are essential, as the weather can often change unexpectedly.

Weather forecasts: Check current weather conditions at: zamg.at or www.uwz.at/.

Togetherness: Observe the 10 rules for the proper handling of grazing animals and do not leave any waste in nature!

Do not kick stones: Do not kick stones as this can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked places with stonefall hazard should be crossed as quickly and attentively and cautiously as possible.

Turn back in time: This is no shame but a sign of common sense. It becomes necessary if the weather changes, fog sets in, or the path is too difficult or in poor condition.

Emergency numbers: Alpine emergency: 140, International emergency: 112, Rescue: 144
