The tour up the toboggan run and through secluded mountain forest to the Kolbensattel hut is particularly suitable for beginners who want to familiarize themselves with the technique of snowshoeing . After a break in the cozy Kolbensattel hut, the descent follows the ski touring trail alongside the ski slope.
The tour route was created in 2015 as part of the "Environmentally Friendly Ski Mountaineering" project of the German Alpine Club in cooperation with local representatives (forestry, hunting and farming).
Please respect existing wildlife resting areas and avoid the time between dusk and dawn, as wild animals are particularly vulnerable to disturbance at this time.
