Skitour Fastenberg

The Pistenskitour Fastenberg begins at the valley station of the Fastenberg 6-seater chairlift. From there, the route leads between slopes 2 and 3 into the forest.

Through the snowy forest, the trail ascends to the Wieslech reservoir, passing the Wieslechalm along the way. Following slope 3a, the route continues briefly toward the mid-station before turning back into the forest. Here, it follows a picturesque hollow path, passing the well-known summer bike trails Flowline and Monster Jumpline.

After crossing the ladies’ downhill slope 2a and passing the ladies’ start of the 2013 Ski World Championships, the trail continues uphill through the forest to the Planai reservoir. From there, it leads across to the men’s downhill slope 1, passing the Quellbodenhütte.

The route then follows the WM Path – a popular hiking trail in summer – until it reaches the Rookie Downhill Trail. This trail is followed uphill until arriving at the Almrausch. The final meters climb alongside the slope 2 up to the Planai mountain station.

At the top, the Schafalm and the Schladminger Hütte invite you to enjoy a well-earned break.

Ski pass holders ask not to forget the ski pass - otherwise a ticket must be purchased from the ticket machine.

Since most of the ascent track leads through the forest, attention must be paid to the snow conditions away from the slopes.
