Kulmberg Loop Trail

The loop gives a great overview of Ramsau Ort's positioning at the foot of the Scheinspitz. Ramsau's previously been known as Maple Valley,  reflected by its many maple trees spread across the plateau. 

From the starting point at the Congress Centre in Ramsau Ort, walk towards the ski jumping hill next to the Waldschenke. Follow the path around to the philosopher's path. This one will take you on a stroll to Kulm (in summer there are orchids along the path). Then either follow the road to the cooling house (opposite the Heimatstüberl) or follow a little path through the forest behind 'Schistube Steiner. From there, follow the signposted path to the west. 

After passing the houses, you will have beautiful views of Planai's meadows. The path, being wide enough for buggies, offers an idyllic stroll along the forest edge to the Vorbergstraße. There, take the right up and cross the scooter track.

Take a left and descend via the path along the forest edge (attention to short passages with roots). This part offers a beautiful few onto the southern walls behind Ramsau Ort. Passing by hotel Herold, follow the street until you reach a fork. Turn right into a small passage leading into the 'Tannenweg'.

Turn right and you are back at the ski jumping hill. 

Suitable for families, with gentle uphills on forest and meadow trails, and a short narrow forest path over roots. Charming views to the Dachstein, the Schladming Tauern and across the Enns valley. Head to the great viewpoint at the WM jump, to see out over Ramsau Ort and its farmhouses and Evangelic church. Enjoy also the splendid view of the three peaks of Torstein, Mitterspitz, and Dachstein.

Variation: take the short, steep uphill to Waldschenke restaurant and the Kulmberg high route with gorgeous views across the Enns Valley.
