Details for: Wechsel-Panoramaloipe: Loop Trail Kummerbauerstadl

Brief description

A selective route, groomed for classic and skating, leads over a loop trail from the Gasthof Kummerbauerstadl back to the starting point.

Description

The entire Wechsel-Panoramaloipe lies above 1,000 meters altitude. This guarantees not only wonderful panoramic views of Schneeberg, Rax, Wechsel, and the surrounding regions, but also a high snow reliability. Provided there is enough snow for grooming, the trail is groomed from early December to the end of March and runs through varied terrain, also splitting into smaller loop sections. Loop trail number 12 starts at the Alpengasthof Kummerbauerstadl. The approximately 8-kilometer-long route is suitable for athletic cross-country skiers. The Gasthof Kummerbauerstadl is the ideal starting point for cross-country skiing tours or other sporting activities. It is open year-round with Monday as the day of rest. Besides culinary delights with ingredients from the region, the Alpengasthof also offers accommodation and a wellness offer. From here, the panoramic trail continues over the Feistritzsattel to the Wechsel.
