Nice winter hiking tour up to Schneealpenhaus via Hohe Nass, the Ameisbühel and the Schauerwand
The tour starts at the parking Nasskamm (GPS: 47.706643, 15.658779) and first follows the forest road upwards towards Kleine Nass. The tour then turns left and follows the trail up towards Schneealpe. After a steep ascent and some (easy) climbing part, the tour then follows the trail up towards Ameisbühel, allowing an exciting view towards the Ötscher. The tour then follows the trail towards Schauerwand, passing by the Lurgbauerhütte. After a short break, the tour then first descends and then follows the mountain road towards the Schneealpenhaus. The descent is done the same way like the ascent.
Please note that crampons are recommended for this tour when done in winter!
