Details for: Wechsel-Panoramaloipe: Feistritzsattel - Dreiländereck

Brief description

Trail No. 8 is groomed for both classic and skating style. You can get a day pass for the Wechsel-Panoramaloipe at the ticket office building at Feistritzsattel.

Description

The entire Wechsel-Panoramaloipe is located at over 1,000 meters above sea level. This not only guarantees wonderful panoramic views of Schneeberg, Rax, Wechsel and the surrounding regions, but also high snow reliability. If there is enough snow for grooming, the trail is groomed from early December to the end of March and runs through varied terrain and also divides into smaller circular trail sections.

The Feistritzsattel loop trail (trail No. 8) is suitable for experienced cross-country skiers with basic fitness and covers a distance of about 9.5 kilometers. The Feistritzsattel loop trail offers a magnificent panorama of the surrounding mountains (Rax, Schneeberg, Stuhleck).
