The approximately 6–7 km long winter hike from Bad Aussee to Altaussee is a beautiful and scenic tour through the Ausseerland region. It is easy to moderately difficult, well walkable, and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Since there are some uphill sections, the route is not suitable for strollers. Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a leash.

Along the way, there are several places to stop for refreshments, such as the Kurcafé-Konditorei Lewandofsky-Temmel in Bad Aussee or the Hotel Seevilla in Altaussee.

Paid parking is available at the starting point in Bad Aussee. The hike begins at the Unimarkt, following the signs to Altaussee or the Klaus Maria-Brandauer-Promenade. The trail then continues upstream through the forest until you reach the Hotel Seevilla and the Altaussee Lake – your final destination.

For the return, you can either walk back the same way or take the Postbus Line 955 conveniently back to Bad Aussee.
