Description:

In order to sustainably improve the infrastructure on the mountain and prepare it for future requirements, Hinterstoder-Wurzeralm Bergbahnen AG is launching an important construction project in summer 2025: the first construction phase for snowmaking on the Frauenkarpisten slopes.

Here is all the information about the schedule, affected areas in the hiking area, technical details and contacts.

Construction period:
🗓️ From the beginning of July to the end of October 2025

⚠️ Important notice:
The Frauenkarlift will only be in operation on Saturdays and Sundays in July 2025.

Site plan Wurzeralm

Tip: For an undisturbed mountain experience, we recommend starting the themed circular trail "2 million years in 2 hours" in an anti-clockwise direction. This way, you can avoid the construction site traffic and reach the Brunnsteinersee lake and the continuing hiking trails in a relaxed manner.

The Halfdome of the Wurzeralm - the wall of the Stubwieswipfel drops vertically to the southwest to the Wurzeralm. From the northwest, however, it can be climbed without any problems. At the summit you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Wurzeralm and the Warscheneck-mountain range.

Already from the top station of the funicular, the Stubwieswipfel is quite clearly visible. Follow the signs first down to Teichlboden and past the Filzmoosalm huts. There you leave the comfortable gravel road and it goes up on a forest path to another gravel road. Follow this to the right and - following the signpost - soon turn right. From now on, the trail goes steadily uphill through the forest and mountain pines to the narrow ridge with a summit cross.

Tip: The Teichlboden deserves your special attention as the highest high moor in the Northern Limestone Alps. The Teichl, the watercourse running through this high moor, disappears underground during the so-called Teichlschwund. Be careful, you will pass it.
