Ski tour to Dürrnbachhorn summit

Starting point: From the Seegatterl touring car park you start in the direction of the Winklmoos-Alm cross-country ski run.

Cross the trail down towards Seegatterl to a large DAV alpine club information board. A narrow trail begins here, which leads uphill in the direction of Winklmoos-Alm. When there is little snow, the narrow path can be rough or difficult to walk on. In this case, it is advisable to follow the cross-country ski trail/ winter hiking trail for the first few kilometers in the direction of Winklmoos-Alm. This trail is a bit longer but easy to walk.

Both paths meet again shortly before a smooth rock face, a large information board of the DAV alpine club marks the further path. At the rise turn left steeply upwards. After this short steep section, the path continues flat to the Dürrnbachalmen. Here the view widens and the extensive summit slope of the Dürrnbachhorn peak becomes visible. At the information board of the DAV alpine club on the left of the highest alpine pasture, the path leads along the forest to the large summit slope.

In wide switchbacks, it goes up over the extensive area to the mountain station of the Dürrnbachhorn nostalgic chairlift. If there is enough snow, a climb to the summit of the Dürrnbachhorn is possible. Usually, however, it makes more sense to take a break in the area around the mountain station and ski down. From both points, the panorama is equally impressive and beautiful, from the summit you can even enjoy the view down to the three lakes area.

When you reach the highest point, the descent follows down to the Dürrnbachalmen and further left down to the Winklmoos-Alm. After the magnificent summit slope, turn left onto a forest path that leads to the valley station of the nostalgic railway and down to the Winklmoos Alm. In the Winklmoos ski area, there is a short ascent next to the rope lift to a small trail that branches off to the right. Following this trail leads to the ski run down to Seegatterl.

You can return to the touring car park via the ski car park. Alternatively, you can also descend via the ascent route. However, do not use the alpine path, but rather the rolled path back to the tour car park.

Refreshment stops: Seegatterlalm, restaurants Winklmoos-Alm

Note: in the Dürrnbachhorn area from the alpine pastures, pay attention to the alpine dangers. The nostalgic chairlift is operating in summer only.
