The starting point for this short gateway tour is the car park at the Dachstein Gletscherbahn valley station at an altitude of approx. 1,700 metres. From here, head east for about one kilometre to the start of the Edelgrieß.
Turn north-east and climb up to the Edelgrieß. After one kilometre you reach the steep step. Caution: crampons + ice axe may be necessary here. At kilometre three, you are now at the highest point of the tour (2,527 m). From here, the route continues steadily downhill along hiking trail 618, past the Gruberscharte ridge, with the Guttenberghaus on the left. The last kilometre you cycle or walk downhill along a forest road and finally you have reached the end point of the route - the Feisterer car park.
If snow conditions are good, you can take the winter hiking trail feeder west from the parking lot – at an appropriate pace – and then descend to the Marharter-Hof. From there, it's a good 400 meters to the Stierer bus stop. From there, take bus number 960 to the final stop at the Dachstein Glacier Cable Car valley station. Alternatively, take the access road back down to the main road and follow it west to the stop (approximately a 25-minute walk).
You can, of course, also drive to the Glacier Cable Car valley station – the road there is a toll road. From the end of your tour, you'll also take the bus back to your car. The routes to the stops remain the same, of course.
To reach the starting point take bus number 960 from Schladming train station to the final stop, "Dachstein Türlwandhütte/Gletscherbahn."
From your finishing point at the Feisterer destination, if snow conditions are good, you can take the winter hiking trail feeder west and then descend to the Marharter-Hof at a suitable pace. From there, it's a good 400 meters to the Stierer bus stop. From there, take bus number 960 back to Schladming. Alternatively, you can take the access road back down to the main road and follow it west to the stop (approximately 25 minutes on foot).
