    You take the Acherkogelbahn up to the Hochoetz ski area. The beautiful, signposted snowshoe trail starts below the panoramic restaurant (2020 m) heading towards "Rotes Wandl". From there, the trail first descends steeply, then more gently, always away from the piste through the forest, and then crosses below the Brunnenkopflift through the snowy winter forest to the Acherkogelblick viewing platform. The impressive view of the Acherkogel invites you to linger. The next part of the snowshoe trail becomes more challenging and requires some snowshoeing experience. After about 1 km and 170 m of elevation gain, you reach the Bielefelder Hut, where you can relax, enjoy the view, and regain strength with a Kaiserschmarrn. For the descent, follow the somewhat steeper path that leads right from the hut down until you reach the starting section of the route and then follow it back to the Acherkogelbahn.
