The ski tour on the Loser in Altaussee is approximately 6.3 km long, rated as moderately difficult, yet still ideal for beginners. The ascent starts at the valley station of the Loser ski area and leads either along the panoramic road or via a marked ski touring trail through the forest to the Loserhütte at around 1,500 meters above sea level. From there, impressive views of Lake Altaussee and the surrounding mountains can be enjoyed.

The descent via the ski slope is only permitted during the operating hours of the Loser Bergbahnen, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Attention: From 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. the next day, the ski area is closed for safety reasons due to grooming work. The ski touring ascent trail and the panoramic road may still be used for ascent during this time, but only the panoramic road is allowed for descent – extreme caution is required due to grooming operations.

More information

How to get to the Loser can be found at google.at/maps. For tourers there is a separate parking lot.

The ascent track is reached after about 200 meters on the panoramic road after the overpass uphill, the track branches off here to the left of the road. To the right is the sign "1,000 meters above sea level". The ascent takes place at parking lot 1 below the avalanche cones. The route is marked with arrows and boards, according to which you orient yourself during the ascent. Below the avalanche cones, the trail, again marked, leads between the road and the slope directly to the Loserhütte, where the end of the ascent trail is. This ski touring route is located in unsecured alpine terrain, where alpine dangers can be expected at any time (avalanche danger, avalanche blasting, bad weather) and is only for ascending with suitable touring equipment.

The descent via the piste is only possible during the operating hours of the Loser Bergbahnen between 09:00 and 16:00!

ATTENTION: from 16:30 until 08:30 the following day the ski area is closed for safety reasons (preparation work, etc.)!

Tourers ascent path and panorama road can be used for ascent also during this time. For the descent only the panorama road can be used.

Due to preparation work, extreme caution is also required here!

After the ascent you can reward yourself with a piece of cake or pie at the Loserhütte or in the Loser Alm!

In the Loser Skiarena there is a dedicated parking lot for ski tourers.
