Fairy Tale Trail Rittisberg

Tour description

The fairy tale trail on the Rittisberg is an enchanting hike for the whole family. You hike along a newly created forest path from the valley station of the Rittisbergbahn to the Rittisstadl and high-altitude playground. In between, various fairy tale stations promise great entertainment. Younger guests should take a good look at the stations - because a very special surprise awaits them at the Rittisstadl.

The path is easily accessible with a pram down the valley.

Map, elevation profile & further information

From the Rittisstadl you walk downhill in an easterly direction past the high-altitude playground - with a wonderful view of the Ramsau plateau in front of you. The path turns left and then south via a right-hand bend. Shortly afterwards you join a road. Follow this for about 300 m. Before crossing the alpine pasture, which is the Rittisberg Süd ski run in winter, turn left downhill into the forest. Now follow the fairytale trail through the forest and along various stations into the valley.
