Cancelled for private reasons of trip leader.
We will try to do in March which was not possible as a 2-day snowshoe hike in February because of too little snow on the plane:
The idea is crossing Pretulalpe (a rather flat mountain ridge with great views to both sides) at moonlight with snowshoes. We'll start from Paffensattel (1372m) in the afternoon, arriving at Alois Günther-Haus at the summit of Stuhleck (1782m) at dusk, admiring a beautiful sunset and perhaps Alpenglow. After a hot drink at the hut we will continue at moonlight crossing Pretulalpe. We'll arrive at Rosegger-Haus (1588m) early enough to get a decent meal and hot drinks. Stay overnight there.
Next day we will return via the same route, this time during daylight and with sunshine (hopefully). Lunch time at Alois Günther-Haus, end of trip in the late afternoon at Pfaffensattel.
Route:
11th March: Pfaffensattel (pass near Spital am Semmering) - Stuhleck - Pretulalpe - Peter-Rossegger-Haus (stay overnight).
12th March: The same route back.
Probably not ideal for people getting easily cold ...
Maximum number of participants: 8
Meeting point:
March 11, 2:00 p.m. at Pfaffensattel pass, parking lot of Gasthaus (Gasthaus is closed).
In case of unfavourable conditions (overcast, bad weather, too little snow ...) the hike will be cancelled.
In doubt please give me a call two days in advance. I will also put a note on this trip sheet and send you a mail.
