The Salzkammergut offers a variety of ski tours with gentle climbs for beginners, panoramic high-altitude trails and challenging peaks for experienced walkers. From Vogl's Nest, you can easily reach some of the most popular tour destinations in the region.

Popular routes for ski tours in the Salzkammergut

Directly from Fuschl, you can quickly reach true classics for a ski tour in the Salzkammergut, such as the scenic route on the Zwölferhorn or the tours in Krispl-Gaissau. Those seeking the tranquillity of nature will find hidden paths through snow-covered forests and over gentle hills on a ski tour in Fuschl am See or the surrounding area. This is not about peak performance, but rather the luxury of having time and consciously taking every step.

Schafberg Route
The tour up the Schafberg (approx. 7 km, 1,200 metres of elevation) rewards you with sweeping views over Lake Wolfgang. The ascent is demanding, but the descent through fresh powder snow is a truly special reward.

Zwölferhorn Ascent
The climb from St. Gilgen (approx. 6 km, 900 metres of elevation) takes you to the summit, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Wolfgang and the surrounding peaks. The route is considered moderately difficult.

Faistenau Circuit
This tour (approx. 8 km, 500 metres of elevation) is ideal for beginners. It leads through snow-covered forests and gentle ridges, offering a quiet and scenic alternative away from the busy pistes.

Krispl–Gaissau Route
On this route (approx. 5 km, 600 metres of elevation), you’ll find wide, sunny slopes that are perfect for leisurely tours. The ascent is not too steep, making it a safe option even when snow conditions are less than ideal.

Loibersbacher Höhe
A popular touring destination (approx. 10 km, 950 metres of elevation) for those looking for a well-tracked route. The ascent is moderately difficult, and the descent combines forest sections with wide alpine meadows.

Wieserhörndl to Gaissau
This challenging tour (approx. 7.3 km, 1,531 metres of elevation) is suited to experienced ski tourers looking for a demanding adventure. Both the ascent and the descent offer an impressive backdrop with views over the Gaissau–Hintersee ski area and the surrounding mountains.

Breathtaking downhill skiing & relaxation in the Nest

The reward for every climb is the sweeping view across the snow-covered lake landscape. Then comes the descent: powdery, free, a few turns just for you. Back at the hotel, the warmth of the onsen soothes tired muscles, and a place in the ‘Höhenluft’ relaxation room lets your gaze wander once more across the majestic mountain scenery.
