Tour description
From the starting point, you circle the ski jump run and join the Philosophenweg, which leads comfortably to Kulm. Either along the road or from Schistube Steiner on the forest path. From there, follow the signposted path to Kulmbergstraße. Continue along the edge of the forest until you reach Vorbergstraße. There you climb briefly uphill to the scooter track. At the top, the forest path turns, passes the Hotel Herold and after a short stretch of road, you branch off and reach the ski jump area again.

Map, elevation profile & further information
The path is maintained to the best of our ability, but icy patches are still possible in winter.
In winter, caution is advised even on seemingly easy hikes. In shady areas, the ground can be slightly icy, and there may be avalanche danger below slopes. Mountaineering is therefore primarily a matter of personal responsibility – even more so in winter. Tourist associations and avalanche warning services assume no liability whatsoever based on the information provided.

Your equipment should ideally include:
- Ankle-high, warm shoes. Waterproof, warm shoes with a treaded sole are ideal. Optional: Gaiters for additional snow protection.
- A hood and warm clothing, ideally layered. Don't forget a change of clothes for longer winter hikes: a wind and waterproof jacket and trousers.
- A small backpack with a warm drink in a thermos and snacks as needed
- Sun protection
- Cell phone
- First aid kit
- Optional: crampons/snow spikes (snow chains for shoes), telescopic hiking poles for better grip and balance.
