A winter hiking trail runs around the summit of the Rittisberg at approx. 1,500 m above sea level.

Beautiful winter hiking trail with panoramic views of the Dachstein south walls in the Schladminger Tauern and the Ramsau plateau. The path runs parallel to the cross-country ski run. There are two possible junctions to get to the Sonnenalm or Halseralm and from there you can hike back to Ramsau-Ort or to the valley station of the Rittisbergbahn.
