From Semmering railway station to the top of the Semmering Pass

Your hikes in the Viennese Alps should be an all-round beautiful and safe experience.

Therefore, please note:

When choosing a route, make sure it is suitable for your mountain experience and fitness level. Check the weather forecast in advance. The weather can change surprisingly quickly in the mountains. Therefore, always set off appropriately equipped (suitable footwear, rain protection). Check whether the huts and snack stations you want to visit along the way are open. Inform someone about the route and your planned return before you set off. Stay on marked paths and avoid abbreviations. Due to the drought, meadows and forests are easily flammable. Treat fire with respect and report a possible fire to the fire department immediately. (122) Do not throw garbage into the countryside and dispose of it properly.

Always take maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes suitable for the tour, take sun and rain protection with you as well as water and a snack. Take your mobile phone with you and save the emergency number for mountain rescue: 140

If you arrive by car, drive directly to the hiking starting point at the top of the Semmering Pass. (Passhöhe Semmering)

Travel by train to Semmering railway station. This is also the starting point for this tour.
