Plateau hike Hochschneeberg/ Klosterwappen

We follow the green marking to the Damböckhaus and continue hiking to the junction to the summit cross. The yellow marking takes us to the Klosterwappen, the summit of Schneeberg (2075 m). Along the ridge of Schneeberg, we continue to the Kaiserstein and the Fischerhütte. Following the green marking, we return to the Ochsenboden and the mountain station.

Always take suitable maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes appropriate for the route (hiking boots or trekking shoes), take sun and rain protection as well as water and a small snack. Bring your mobile phone and save the mountain rescue emergency number: 140
