Take the Acherkogelbahn to the skiresort Hochoetz. The beautiful, marked snowshoe trail starts just underneath the panorama restaurant (2020 m) and leads away from the slopes, to the "Rotes Wandl" then always slightly downhill through the snowy winter forest to the Acherkogelblick viewing platform. The impressive view of the Acherkogel invites you to linger. On the way back, the covered path always leads slightly uphill.

Author’s recommendation

The lovely snowshoe tour through winter wonderland gets rewarded with an impressive panorama at the viewing platform.
