    Directly at the valley station of the Ochsengartenbahn, follow the signs onto the prepared forest road west of ski slope 09. With a pleasant incline, you reach the ski slope again after about 20 minutes along this forest road. Always ascending along the right edge of the slope, you reach a junction from the ski slope onto the marked forest path after about another 20 minutes. Away from the slope hustle and bustle, you can also climb up here comfortably side by side while chatting. First flat, then slightly ascending, you reach ski slope 05 in about half an hour. This is crossed at a clear spot to continue ascending via the forest path. After a few hundred meters and a first switchback, you reach the edge of the slope, but continue to follow the forest path and only return to the ski slope in the upper third of the ascent route. From here, a few altitude meters and about 20-30 minutes of walking time lead to the destination at the Hochoetz reservoir pond and mountain station.

    Author’s recommendation

    Very beautiful ascent in great winter landscape and impressive panorama. Most of the route is on marked forest paths.
