Skitouring guide Karwendel, Rofan and Wetterstein + GPS coordinates

As the capital of the Austrian federal state of the same name, Mozart's birth town is already in the lowlands, but with exceptional snow conditions you can ski directly from Salzburg to the adjacent Gaisberg. The 1,300-meter-high-altitude ski tour on the Untersberg can still be reached with the city bus. The actual ski touring paradise, however, only begins a few kilometers south. The entry point is provided by the more pre-alpine mountains of the Osterhorn Group, where ski touring beginners and connoisseurs in particular get their money's worth. Behind these foothills builds up the impressive barrier of the Northern Limestone Alps, which extends from the Gosaukamm over the Tennengebirge and the Hagengebirge to the Hochkönig - further to the west, the no less impressive peaks of the Steinerne Meer and the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge adjoin. The ski touring opportunities in their huge karen, steep flanks, extensive high plateaus but also on the moderate fringes are enormous and make the hearts of ski touring fans of all skill levels beat faster. To the south of it are the Salzburg grass mountains. During stormy congestion, the largest amounts of snow fall here, in the lee of the large limestone mountain ranges, and due to the ski-friendly terrain, Powderalarm is one of the best addresses in the entire Eastern Alps. Rudi Kühberger lives in the middle of these mountains and knows them like no other. With meticulousness and enthusiasm, he has compiled the information and overview photos for the more than 220 destinations of this ski guide over many years, thus creating an impressive inventory of the ski touring opportunities in the region. Newcomers to the area will find all the top tours between Lofer, Bischofshofen, St. Johann and Abtenau in this book, and even locals and those familiar with the area will probably discover one or two delicacies that were previously unknown to them.
