The majestic Grimming attracts you magically even in winter. And even if you don't go all the way up to the summit, you'll be very close to it on a leisurely hike to the Grimminghütte.

A fine winter hike for the whole family. Most of the trail is slightly uphill and also offers some nice viewpoints to rest and take pictures. Those interested in history can take a short detour to the Neuhaus church ruins (1575) after a few minutes' walk.

Along this hike you will find the Natur.Kraft.Plätze. ‘Neuhaus church ruins’ and “Trautenfels Castle”. You can find more information at www.schladming-dachstein.at/naturkraftplaetze

More information

Coming from Schladming or Liezen, turn off the B320 at Trautenfels and take the road up to the castle in Trautenfels.

Shortly after the start you cross a bridge (below you the Ennstal federal road) and pass the Moarhof - the organic farm and the headquarters of the organic institute of the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein. You follow the path and after a comfortable hour on meadow and forest paths you reach the Grimminghütte. You will certainly find a place to take a breather, even if only in front of the hut, as the hosts are in the valley in winter and the hut is closed.

If you want to go even further up the Tressenstein, then it's best to pack snowshoes and poles!
