Follow the path next to the road upwards for appr. 300 m to the trail intersection "Schußbühel" and ascend further via snowy meadows to Haus Moosbrugger. Turn left and cross the ski slope (caution!). Afterwards follow the path through the forest until the ski slopes of the Obertalbahn lift and cross them again. Slightly upwards on the forest lane and through the snowy winterland until you reach the "Schwammerldorf". There turn left and follow the prepared winter path to the Schlapfer farm. Follow the Rohrmoos Südweg to the Sonnleitner farm where you reach the Knappenweg trail which takes you back to Rohrmoos village via Obertalbahn lift and Rohrmooser Frei meadows.

Before each and every ski tour or snow shoe walk you should check the most recent avalanche warnings which can be found at www.lawine-steiermark.at.
In winter time it is therefore important to also be careful on supposedly easy walks. Sections that are in the shadows can easily get icy, and slopes on the side of the trail may have avalanche hazard. Mountain sport is always carried out under personal responsibility - in winter even more than in summer. Tourist offices or avalanche warning services do not take any responsibility in respect to information provided.
Good winter shoes, warm clothing, tuque, and gloves. You might also want to carry a small backbag with a warm drink in a thermos jug.
With the Schladming-Dachstein winter hiking ticket, you can also use certain mountain lifts to the starting points of the most beautiful winter hiking trails without skis!
