From the parking lot at the end of the toll road, we first follow the forest road and then the alpine trail to the Schneealpenhaus, where we plan to take our first small break after about an hour of hiking.
From Schneealpenhaus, we descend briefly and then continue almost level on a wide path, slightly to the right, towards the organic dairy at Lurgbauer – here, of course, a cheese tasting is a must.
For the return journey, we first take the same path back as we did on the way out. Once the huts on the alpine plateau are in sight, we turn right and ascend the scenic Windberg summit.
Our next goal, the Michlbauerhütte, is visible below us from the summit, and we descend via a well-marked alpine trail.
After this final culinary break, we head back to the starting point.
