The tour

Experience, sense of direction and endurance are a must on this wonderful tour via Hochtor, Liezener Hütte and Mittermölbing. With enough snow and puff it goes up to the Hochmölbing.


Turn-by-turn directions

Starting from the parking lot Oberkogler Alm you walk along the forest road to Schönmoos. From there the tour continues through the forest in the direction of Langpoltenalm, past the rugged walls of the Hochtausing. At the Langpoltenalm (see signpost) you branch off to the right in the direction of Hochtor. A steep ascent to the Liezener Hütte follows. Keeping to the right, continue towards Brunnalm and then along the flat ridge towards Querlstein and over Speikboden along the steep ridge to Mittermölbing (ski depot). You then walk for about 15 min along the flat ridge to the summit of Hochmölbing.

Descent as ascent. If the snow and avalanche situation permit, you can enjoy a steep descent through the Mölbing gully down into the Mölbingkar and continue along the valley floor to the Liezener Hütte, where you return to the ascent route.

Getting there

Leave the Ennstal federal road (B320) in Wörschach. In the village, turn off in the direction of Wörschachberg and drive up to the Oberkogler Alm.
