The Graukogel route in detail

The adventure starts right at the Graukogelbahn valley station. You’ll step on your well-tuned touring skis and direct your focus onto the sporting experience. The route follows the B4 ski run to the middle station. As you continue gliding across vast snow fields towards Graukogelalm (hut at the middle station), you’ll be treated to breathtaking scenic views of Bad Gastein. After passing the Reicheben tow lift, there are two short, steeper sections to conquer until you reach the top station and the Graukogelhütte. There you treat yourself to a well-deserved break followed by a descent on natural snow slopes.
