Slope-adjacent ski tour over Rauris-Kreuzboden to the Waldalm

The slope-adjacent tour to the Waldalm begins at the valley station of the Kreuzboden chairlift. You can reach it in a 10-minute walk from the Rauris town center bus stop either on foot via Sportstraße, or from the Ortsmitte/Gemeindeamt stop by ski bus. The ascent leads 500 meters along the gentle slope from the valley station and then turns left at a barn onto the narrow, increasingly steep summer trail. After half an hour, the path meets the valley station of the Kreuzboden platter lift for the first time and runs along the edge of the slope to the mountain station of the Kreuzboden lift. The start of the ski tour, for example due to lack of snow, is of course also possible here. The track leads back into the forest and reaches the ski slope just below the Waldalm after a total of 1.5 hours. At the inviting Waldalm (1,690 m), the signposted ascent ends. Those who still want to extend can follow the broad ridge westwards to the mountain station of the Waldalmbahn (1,840 m) and can even add another 100 "slope-free" meters of altitude to an atmospheric devotional cross.
