The tour

From the mountain station, this tour takes you down the Schladming glacier to the valley station of the Mitterstein chairlift and from there over hilly terrain with short descents and climbs to the Feistererscharte. It goes downhill via the Guttenberghaus and the Tiefkar. Keep left at the end of the cirque, cross the gully and descend under a small rock face (beware of avalanche danger) over steep mountain pine slopes into the Feisterergraben. From there you follow the Hüttenweg to the right to the Feisterer lift and on to the Hotel Feistererhof. A good sense of direction and GPS are required for this tour.
