Ski tour to the Schoberspitze
Tour description
On this moderately difficult ski tour you conquer the dominant mountain of the highest ski village in Styria. Past snow-covered mountain lakes, the route takes you via Karlspitz and Karlscharte along hilly terrain up to 2,126 m, where the summit cross of the striking Schoberspitze is enthroned.
The tour
Map, elevation profile & further information
On this ski tour you start at the Kinderland and follow the markings, first flat, then a short piece steeper before it goes over the mountain pine field again flatter towards the south. Now you are on the high plateau and already have the striking mountain shape of the Schoberspitze in view. Enjoy this section before you continue uphill to the ridge. Once you are there, turn west towards the now already visible summit cross of the Karlspitze. Once you reach the summit, you descend to the Karlscharte. Then the skins come back up and you climb the last 150 meters to the summit of the Schoberspitze. All around you now see a magnificent mountain panorama. Be it the nearby mountains of the Planneralm or those in Donnersbachwald. You also have a clear view of the mighty Grimming and the Schladminger Tauern to the Tote Gebirge. Resting is now the order of the day before you start your descent.The descent follows the same route as the ascent.
There is a ski bus to the Planneralm on weekends in winter and during the Styrian and Viennese semester vacations.
