Map, elevation profile & further information

Ascent: take the ski trail to the top, past Dachsteinhaus and Brandalm and enjoy breathtaking views of the Dachstein Südwand on the way. Leave the ski trail about 300 metres after Brandalm and walk through the overgrown alpine pasture up to the Brandriedel (ridge). From there, via Kraml-Lahn/"Gamsfeldgassl" back to your starting point. Descent: same as ascent or via the Kraml-Lahn (note: steep, backcountry terrain, snow conditions and danger of avalanches!) back to Gasthof Edelbrunn.
