Description :

Please read the full description! Make sure you meet the requirements and the hike meets your expectations before registering...do remember, this is not a commercial walk, hence it means you are responsible for yourself & we are responsible for each other as group members.

This is a kind of shortened Rax traverse.

The Brandschneide is a steep and,at times, narrow  path with some short ladders  which ultimately leads to Otto Haus (lunch break opportunity). This path requires you to be sure-footed and free from dizziness. It's not a ferrata, though

As you might know, the path between the Otto Haus onwards to Seehütte is well-walked, so rarely a solitary experience. I still like to hike it once in a while for the easy walking and the scenic  views. The descent from Seehütte to Preiner Gscheid (via Waxriegelhaus) is also a hiking path without technical difficulty.

Hence, a relatively long but technically easy  alpine hike once you get up onto the Rax plateau. Good boots & alpine hiking gear absolutely required,

Also, we need to keep to a certain pace, because the last bus from Preiner Gscheid leaves at 16:45 - so please only register if you meet the fitness requirements.

T2, Rough areas, broken rocks and boulder fields are not a problem for me. I am sure-footed and free of dizziness
