Saalbach - Gerstbodenalm

Initially take the red piste no. 48, then head north into the forest. After about 50m you reach the meadows of Gerstbodenalm. Enjoy open turns, crossing a forest track a few times. When you get to a hut you are at about 1482m. Just below here where the forest thickens follow a forest road to the right into the woods and by a deep moat. It has numerous hairpin bends. With very good snow and good skiing technique, a few of the bends in the upper part can be shortened. From about 1250m, the switchbacks are considerably closer. Here its a necessity to remain on the forest road and not cut the corners, because this area is closed due to reforestation. At about 1100m, you reach a usually open barrier at the last bend to the right. Go straight through and then left towards the Pulvermacheralm hut, where you change at the tree line into a creek bed to the left side (south side). Here its just a few meters to a prepared slope that leads to the ski hut for a stopover. If the stream crossing as described above is not possible, it can be done after the Pulvermacheralm hut. When crossing the north side of the creek, you reach about 1050m with a mostly cleared access road to the station.
