Description:

Snowshoe hiking at the Glasenberg is a nature experience in its purest form.

Directions:

The starting point for the Glasenberg circular route is the ski lift parking lot. After the Glasner Hut, the route gently ascends along the Voralpenweg 404, passing some weekend houses until you enter the forest. After about 100 m on the forest road, keeping right, you walk through a quiet woodland area to the junction where you leave the Voralpenweg.


Following path E33, which now ascends slightly, keep to the left until you reach a fork where you have the option to ascend the Glasenberg summit.


You continue right through the forest area and after about an hour reach the Durchlaufner Saddle, where there is a beautiful view of Maria Neustift and the mountains of the Ennstal. The path then heads left downhill to the Durchlauf farmhouse. Continuing on a farm track, you reach the starting point after about 30 minutes.

Tip:

The Glasner Hut invites you to stop by after the route with its regional delicacies.


As an additional offer, 30 pairs of snowshoes are available for rent, so you can enjoy the incredible mountain scenery even without your own equipment.

Safety guidelines:

To ensure all athletes enjoy their time at the Glasenberg, we ask you to observe the rules for ski touring and snowshoe walkers.
