The well-groomed path leads past the Iglmoosalm to the Goiserer hut. Wonderful view to the highest mountain of Austria, the Grossglockner!

On a snowshoe tour you really get to know Russbach. Far away from civilisation you will hike past secluded farms, frozen streams and through snowy forests. A snowshoe tour is the best way to enjoy the unspoiled nature of Russbach. The more demanding the tour, the more important it is to know the area well and to know the proper way to deal with alpine nature.

Author’s recommendation

You can take the Skibus to the Pass Gschütt.

Turn-by-turn directions

Follow the road from the village square, you pass the hotel Kerschbaumer, in eastern direction through the underpass and go ahead the old Gschüttroad. Then a short piece on the Pass Gschütt-road up to the summit. Ca. 700 m after the summit you turn left to the Wegscheid road. At the first intersection, turn right, and at the next junction turn left towards Iglmoosalm (1,206 m). Then go along the forest road, about 1,5 km on a footpath right on the Schartenalm to Goisererhütte (1596 m). Wonderful view to the highest mountain in Austria, the Grossglockner! Return the same way. To the summit of the Pass-Gschütt-road can be driven by bus. With skis you can hike up to High Kalmberg. From the Goisererhütte the hike brings you through a snow field and to High Kalmberg (1833 m)
