<h2>Neuberg (720m) - Schneealm (1903m)</h2> <p>Take the path (445) before the Holzer gasthaus, until your reach the big plateau just below the summit of Schneealm (around 1731m), close to the Milchlbauerhuette and take any of the path up the Windberg summit</p> <h2>Schneealm (1903m) - Nasskamm (1210m)</h2> <p>From the summit, head down the NW path, then cross the fields to the NW until you reach the track. Follow the track until the Lurgbauerhuette (1764m), then go down on the path to the N, then W along the Nasskamm.</p> <h2>Nasskamm (1210m) - Rax (2007m)</h2> <p>Continue along the Nasskamm W then S, up past the Zimmermannhuette to the little pass (1495m) (signpost) From there, either turn W and climb (II, unsecured) straight up to Gamseck (1857m), or continue SW along the marked path, and take the Gamsecksteig (easy climb, I-II, secured with cables/ladders) to the summit plateau (1849m). From the summit plateau, walk along the grass ridge to the top.</p> <h2>Descent</h2> <p>From the summit of Rax (Heukuppe, 2007m), head down to Karl-Ludwig-Haus (1804m), and take one of the many ways down to the bus stops either at Preiner Gsheid (1070m) or Prein (680m)</p> <p>Possibility to do in two days.</p> <p>The only real climbing part is between Nasskamm and Rax, where there are no easier ways. All the other climbing parts can be avoided by taking a longer path.</p>

<h2>Ascent</h2> <p>From Prein, head up the forest roard to the Waxriegelhaus (1361m). Reach the large and obvious bowl (Siebenbrunnkessel) that gets steeper as you go up. Head to the left (SE) at the top of the gullies ( ~1650m), where there are some chains. Follow those chains to the Karl-Ludwig Haus on top of the cliff (1804m). From there, follow the gentle slopes to reach the ridge and follow it to the summit. (often without snow because of the wind)</p> <h2>Descent</h2> <p>Either same way, or to avoid the area under the Karl-Ludwid Haus which might not have good snow, go the pass 100m N of Karl-Ludwig Haus, (~1750m) before Predigtstuhl. Head down the Karlgraben from there (> 35° at the start).</p> <p>Very crowded on weekends. Careful of avalanches coming from the sides&#8230;</p>
