Wonderful ski tour, which is also suitable already from the pre-winter.

From the parking space Grund in Ellmautal, you go along the hiking trail through the forest, passing the Ellmau-Heimalm and further to the Ellmaualm, which is not managed in winter. From there, you will ascend via gentle alpine meadows towards Tröge. Along the ridge you will finally reach the Gründegg. From here you have a wonderful view to the surrounding mountains - you see the Grossglockner, Sonnblick, Schareck, the Ankogel group, Dachstein, Bischofsmütze, Tennengebirge, Hagengebirge and the Hochkönig.

You ski down along alpine meadows along the ascent route. If there is sufficient snow, you can ski directly to the Ellmaualm.

Author’s recommendation

You can combine this tour with the tour to the Loosbühel, then it is a great day-tour.

Fahrt mit dem PKW zum Parkplatz "Grund". Aufstieg zur Ellmaualm, nach einer kurzen Rast und Abkühlung erfolgte der Aufstieg zum Gründegg. Von dort hat man eine herrliche Aussicht auf die umliegenden Berge und Gipfel. Wir wanderten auf einem Stück des Höhenweges weiter und stiegen dann zur Loosbühelalm ab. Dort genossen wir das tolle Panorama, die leckeren Speisen und Getränke. Anschliessend machten wir uns an den Abstieg zurück zum Parkplatz.

Auch vom Nebental (Breitenebenalm) aus möglich und wesentlich einsamer.
