Panorama < winter hustle and bustle
Expect a magical winter wonderland on Mount Dürrenschöberl, the local mountain of Rottenmann. Take in the breathtaking views of Gesäuse, Totes Gebirge and Rottenmanner Tauern. Ant it is easily accessible, too - which makes it a super rewarding, yet also pretty busy spot in wintertime.

From Rottenmann, the route leads over the Messneralm and finally over a wide ridge to Mountain Dürrenschöberl, where you can simply enjoy the magnificent view.

More information

Via Highway A9 Pyhrnautobahn, Exit Rottenmann

Trail No. 652 begins at the parking lot near the Rottenmann fire station. Passing a barn and a stretch of forest, we turn left at the hairpin bend, where the trail begins. The path leads uphill through the forest, crossing the forest road several times. Depending on the snow depth, snowshoes may be required for this winter hike.
At approximately 1,405 m above sea level, the alpine pasture area begins and the trail levels out. Passing the Messner hunting lodge, we continue climbing through sparse forest to the junction with Trail No. 651 from Selzthal. We now head over the ridge to the nearly treeless high plateau with its beautiful summit cross. The return trip follows the same route.

Safety instructions for winter tours
The tour is undertaken at your own risk! No liability is accepted for any alpine dangers (avalanches, weather, etc.) that may occur. Important note: Before every winter tour, it is essential to check the current avalanche report - available at www.lawine-steiermark.at.
Mountain sports and the assessment of the situation on site is - even more so in winter - primarily your own responsibility. Tourism associations or avalanche warning services can therefore not accept any liability based on the information provided.
