Lahning Ries

Camptocamp

camptocamp

Le Schneeberg, comme beaucoup de montagnes dans la région, est formée d&#8217;un large plateau sommital, entouré de pentes raides. Accessible par un train de montagne jusqu&#8217;à 1780&#160;m.

Klosterwappen (Schneeberg)

From the Hollental, the path starts behind the Weichtalhaus: Follow the stream and red marks.

There are a few passages where you have to climb/squeeze in caves, but the harder parts have ladders and chains.

Once you get to Kienthalerhütte (1380m), it is an easy hike to the summit (but still 800m to ascend).

The lower part is often wet and cool, even on hot summer days.

Easier to go up this way and to take another path down.

Weichtalklamm

From Losenheim, go up the path to Edelweisshuette (1200m, at the top of the chairlift), and follow the ridge up to the summit. It&#8217;s a bit in the forest for a bit, then rocky and through scree from 1400m to 1700m. Some chains to help in a few parts. The summit plateau is from ~1700m to the end and not very steep. Safe when dry, but can be very slippery when wet, and much trickier whith snow and ice. Losenheim -> Edelweisshuette ~1h Edelweisshuette -> Kaiserstein (Fischerhuette) ~2h

Fadensteig

From Puchberg am Schneeberg, go to Schneebergdörfl and then to Schwabenhof where the paved road ends (774m). Take the unpaved forest road towards the E, for about a km, where the fields on the left end. (~880m) Walk up the path through the forest to point 1180m (direction Schneidegraben), or cycle along the forest road to the same point. From there, go up the scree to 1337m where the scree crosses a horizontal path (signpost). Take it toward the NW (direction Bürklehütte) for about 500m until your reach a viewpoint. This is where the Novembergrat really starts. Follow the faint red circles along the ridge to the SW, and go up the ridge to the summital plateau at 1800m. From there, either go for a beer at the nearby Damböckhütte, or go to the summit of Schneeberg 1.5&#160;km away, along a wide and flatish road full of tourists who came up with the train&#8230; Down: either the same way, down the scree of the Schneidergraben (very fast if you have good shoes and knees), or via the Herminenstieg (similar terrain to the Novembergrat, which starts just below the cross of the Waxriegel behind the hut).

Novembergrat

From the summit of Schneeberg, head a bit along the ridge to the next bump (direction NE), then head down direction NW, down the gully until the forest, and then same way as for the Wurzengraben Careful of corniches falling from the left, the gully is narrow at the bottom.
