Tour description
Ski flying, as at the Kulm in Bad Mitterndorf (just around the corner) you can not here, but this Kulm offers you a great winter hike. That's something too, isn't it? At the beginning, the marked winter hike leads comfortably along the Putterersee, then steadily up to the summit, where even a small summit cross awaits you. On the way back along the "Höhenweg" the lake is always winking at you. Enchanting.

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.
