- Description
-
On the hike you will encounter the many possibilities on the wintry Tauplitzalm. The groomed hiking trails are also used as feeders to the shelters and self-catering huts, so you can expect to see the odd skidoo or piste machine.
The plateau is very clear, so personal variants can be chosen in the course of the hike.
- Directions
-
The hike is started at the mountain station of the 4-seater chairlift or at the parking lot on the Tauplitzalm.
The hike takes you eastwards along a groomed track for snow groomers. After the Grazerhütte, check whether there is a track leading further in the direction of the Steirerseehütten. From the Steirerseebankerl you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Sturzhahn and the Steirersee.
Return to the right in the direction of Grazerhütte and at the foot of Traweng to the snow-covered Tauplitzsee. The trail leads next to the lift track up towards the Naturfreundehaus and back to the starting point.
There are plenty of opportunities to warm up and have a snack on this hike.
