Long, steadily ascending snowshoe hike through quiet forests to the secluded Außergsellwiesen meadows.

- Easy to reach by public transport
- Quiet, secluded winter landscape away from well-known routes
- Challenging ascent with 690 meters of elevation gain

ATTENTION: Snowshoe hikes and ski tours should only be undertaken by experienced and well-trained mountaineers. Always consider the avalanche risk – carrying complete avalanche safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel) is mandatory. Check the avalanche report and weather conditions before every tour. Those without sufficient experience should only join such tours in the company of a certified mountain guide.

Directions
The best way to reach the starting point of this tour is by public transport. From the “Anderter” stop, follow the sidewalk for about 350 m out of the valley towards the Sexten industrial zone. At the end of the sidewalk, cross to the opposite side of the road, cross the Sextner stream, and immediately turn left onto a gravel path. This path initially runs alongside the river until you reach a cross-country ski trail. Here, keep to the right for about 100 m uphill at the outer edge of the trail so as not to damage it. Then leave the trail and follow the marked path no. 12 towards Außergsellwiesen. A wide forest path now takes you continuously uphill in several curves. For about 5.5 km, the trail leads through quiet, dense forests, past small forks in the road, where you always follow trail no. 12.

After a total of about 690 meters of elevation gain, the landscape finally opens up and you reach the idyllically situated Außergsellwiesen with two small private huts.
