Details for: Wanderung Kleiner Ötscher

Brief description

His Majesty's little brother impresses with great views along the ridge. Before that, the route runs partly through the ski area - a special experience in summer!

Description

A beautiful hiking trail leads from Weitental parallel to the ski slope in the forest to Riffelsattel. Here you can enjoy your first magnificent view of the nearby Gemeindealpe opposite. The hike then continues for around an hour along the Riffel ridge with wonderful panoramic views of the Gesäuse and Alpine foothills.

A narrow, easy-to-walk hiking trail, only rarely interrupted by short downhill sections, leads steadily uphill to the summit of the KLeinen Ötscher. Same way back.
