Screenshot of the recorded tour. What is already a long, demanding hike in summer feels like a grueling expedition through the eternal ice in fresh snow and on snowshoes. Due to the short days, we treated ourselves to the luxury of taking Austria's oldest cable car up to an altitude of 1,500 meters early in the morning. From there, the trail leads relatively flat to a viewpoint overlooking an impressive gorge and the surrounding mountains. Then down through paths in the forest, and steeply up again through an awe-inspiring high rock face. Over a ridge, the trail continues south for a longer stretch, then down a steeper mountain path to a mountain hut that is always closed in winter. From there, a very pleasant but also challenging path leads down into the valley, about 1,600 meters down. At dusk, we had to hurry to catch the very last bus that took us to the more distant train station. It was close! And what an adventure!

At an altitude of almost 2,000 meters, a 400-meter-high rock face. The evening sun bathes it in red. In the valley, a sea of fog that seems to be lifting slightly. A bright blue evening sky, beautiful.

A wide, snow-covered mountain plateau at an altitude of almost 2,000 meters. In the foreground, a trail marker in the snow has snow crystals gathered on it like a flag by the night wind: horizontal stripes, about 15 cm long, looking almost like feathers strung together. In the blurred background, a huge sea of fog can be seen in the valley. Bright blue sky, sun.

Three people are out snowshoeing. They are wearing winter clothing, carrying backpacks, and holding poles in their hands. They are climbing a slope, and one of them is taking a photo. The sky is blue, and the sun is just peeking over the hill. This creates a beautiful effect of light and shadow on the slope. The shaded areas appear bluish; it is simply a very beautiful light and atmosphere.
