Map, elevation profile & further information

The ski tour starts at the parking lot in the center of town and follows the prepared forest road to the managed Vorderen Mörsbachalm. Shortly before crossing the stream, follow the summer path until you reach a forest road. There you climb up to the left in hairpin bends and cross again to the right side of the stream at about 1500 meters. Follow the flatter gully until you reach a small bottom. Continue to the next gully, which you now see directly in front of you. Climb this again in hairpin bends. Now you reach the Schusterboden. You cross southwest always in the direction of a small saddle and finally over the ridge to the Schwarzkarspitz.

From the Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) turn off at the Trautenfels junction in the direction of Irdning, Donnersbach, Donnersbachwald. Through the village of Donnersbach and another 12 km to Donnersbachwald to the village center.
