The Kölblwirt insider TIP
The Lugauer is without a doubt one of the greatest and most stunning ski tours in the Gesäuse National Park. However, do not underestimate the length of the tour and the increased avalanche risk. Real experts don’t just ascend the Lugauer Mountain. Before tackling it, they put the Gsuchmauer underneath their furs and enjoy their warm-up as they ski down the Gsuchkar. Only after this do they hike up through the Lugauerplan. After this tour, you will most definitely have earned a refreshing beer on our Kölblwirt terrace.
