The Tour
ACHERKOGELBAHN -> Rotes Wandl -> Acherkogelblick Viewing Platform -> ACHERKOGELBAHN
You take the Acherkogelbahn into the Hochoetz ski region. The beautiful, signposted snowshoe trail starts below the panoramic restaurant (2020 m) and leads off-piste to the Rotes Wandl, then gently downhill through the snow-covered winter forest to the Acherkogelblick viewing platform. The impressive view of the Acherkogel invites you to linger. On the way back, the kilometers covered must always be ascended slightly.
Very beautiful snowshoe trail in a great winter landscape, crowned by the chance to enjoy the impressive panorama on the viewing platform.
