Directions

The Hochschwarzeck ski touring route is especially appealing to beginners and those looking for a relaxed outing. To reach Hirschkaser, follow the hiking trail toward Toter Mann. A spacious, free parking lot is available at the trailhead. Alternatively, you can use the paid parking lot at the chairlift's valley station.

After crossing the road, follow the marked ski touring ascent route uphill. A forest road leads you through the woods on a gentle incline to Hirschkaser mountain restaurant. Alternatively, just before the final climb, you can turn right toward Toter Mann and Bezoldhütte, an unmanned mountain hut.

With its gentle slopes and relatively low avalanche risk, this ski tour is an enjoyable and manageable outing. Once you reach Hirschkaser, take in the spectacular panoramic views of the Berchtesgaden Alps. After your ascent, reward yourself with a relaxing break and some delicious Bavarian food at Hirschkaser mountain restaurant.
