Type of event :
Hike, 2 days
Organized by :
Zuzanna Brzozowska
Description :

The idea is to stay overnight in Schneealpe, at the Schnealpenhaus (and see the sunrise for thos who fancy it :) ). The maximum plan for a perfect weather is as follows:

Day 1: https://mapy.com/s/foloheruba - going up from Krampen through Windberg to the hut

Day 2: https://mapy.com/s/feresogeha - from the Schneealpenhaus to Rax through the A-level via ferrata (Klettersteig) Gamsecksteig (Zahmes Gamseck): https://www.bergsteigen.com/touren/klettersteig/gamsecksteig-zahmes-gamseck/

If the weather is not perfect on the second day, we will go down from Schneealpe, without going to Rax. 

It is not a difficult route technically but you need a good stamina (it is over 1000 m up each day), need to be comfortable with narrow paths and occasional exposition, and need to have at least basic experience with ferratas (Klettersteige) as it is not a ferrata course. If I don't know you, I will ask you about your ferrata experience.

Costs:

- Lager 15 eur + breakfast 15 eur = 30 eur

- Rax cable car: 20 eur

- restauranrts / hot meals
