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 "hell" is a rockfall area and lies at an elevation of about 1,300 m between the steep walls of the Stubwieswipfels and Schwarzecks. Observant hikers will find ancient petroglyphs on large boulders.

1957 carvings have been found in some rock fall blocks in 1958 was a first scientific commission instead. Altogether there are in the valley 13 Rocks, only some are accessible and are on the way. On the Durchkriechstein are the "Man in Tower" and the "stylized family" particularly important rock carvings to be seen. The "hell" is one of the most important rock art occurrences of Austria.

From the top station of the funicular Wurzeralm hike through the alpine village past the Friends of Nature House to Teichlschwind where the road branches off to the right 201. The trail now leads slightly downhill to a Crevice, the "Rolling Luag" and through the woods and rocky terrain down into a valley. There you will find at Route the various rock carvings to visit. Passing the "Durchkriechstein" you come to a small karst spring of the so-called "Schwarzlacke".

From the "Schwarzlacke" you have to then turn around and walk back towards Wurzeralm mountain station.
