A beautiful and panoramic hike leads us from the Altenberg valley via the Nasskamm and the Karl Alm to the Schneealm and on to the summit cross at the Schauerkogel.

*Snowy ground feeling - simply indescribably good*. From the natural bathing pond Urani we drive by car on the toll road to the car park Kohlebnerstand. From there we follow the steeper, slightly rocky path along the edge of the summit to the highest point of the Schneealm, the Windberg. The trail continues to the right of the summit along a meadow path back to the alpine pasture floor. We cross it to the Lurgbauerhütte ( http://www.lurgikas.at ). Then we ascend to Ameisbühel and then to the summit cross on the Schauerwand. From there we hike on to the snow penguin house ( http://www.schneealm.at ) and back to the parking lot.
