Simmering
Route Character
Toboggan route to a summit with beautiful views to the Mieminger Kette. With luck, you can get pretty nice treeruns here. The last 300 HM are open, hilly terrain.
Even with increased danger of avalanches this tour up to the Simmeringalm is quite possible.
Starting Point & Village
Starting point: Parking Grünberglift Village: Obsteig
Ascent & Route
At the beginning the uphill is on the ski slopes in the west of Grünberglift up to about 1300m. Then you turn to the right (west direction) on the toboggan run. We follow this up to just before the Simmeringalm to deflect and then hike west again to ascend towards the already visible summit of Simmering. There are several ascents in the clear overviewable terrain. Some caution should be exercised in the steep summit slope, which is thoroughly filled with avalanche snow. The view from the top is phenomenal and you can check out many challenging trips in the surrounding mountains. For obvious ascents and descents, safe conditions are absolutely necessary.
Variant: The ascent variant also offers the more demanding Alpsteig, so you can escape the lugers and the toboganners.
Descent & Variants
As ascent, or check out the treeruns. Pleasen be careful and safe our nature and deer.

Map Explanation
- Slope inclinations are a very important criterion in avalanche risk management. However, slope inclination alone should never be the sole criterion!
- The resolution for Austria and South Tyrol is based on a digital terrain model (DTM) with 10m resolution. Outside these areas, accuracy is significantly lower.
- A map can only ever provide a limited view of real conditions.
