1.600 m groomed high above everyday life
Cross-country skiing with a view
After a relaxed ride on the Papagenobahn to around 1,600 metres above sea level, the stunning Rossbrand High-Altitude Trail awaits you.
Wide plateaus, open forests and a panorama in every direction: the atmosphere up here is reminiscent of Scandinavia, only with a view of the Dachstein.
Ready before you arrive
By the time you come up on the Papagenobahn, the work is already done. Early in the morning, our snow groomer covers the 16 kilometres of the High-Altitude Trail, smooths the skating lane and sets the classic track alongside it. The winter hiking trail to the summit cross is perfectly groomed, too. So every morning, grippy snow and a trail await you on which your skis glide as if by themselves.
The snowcat lays the first track, all the others are yours.

Your track, your pace
On 16 km of skating and classic trails, you glide through peaceful nature, enjoying impressive views of the surrounding mountains time and again.
Thanks to its altitude and varied route, the High-Altitude Trail is also perfect for training, whether you clock up the kilometres or enjoy a leisurely loop.
Winter hiking
Crunching snow, crisp mountain air, deep-snow scenery: winter hiking on the Rossbrand is ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy winter away from the slopes.
The Papagenobahn takes you up to the top station. From there, the groomed winter hiking trail leads to the summit cross at 1,768 metres, with a panoramic view of over 150 Alpine peaks.
Cross-Country Centre on the Rossbrand
Our Cross-Country Centre is right by the Papagenobahn top station at the start of the High-Altitude Trail. Here you can get ready for your loop in peace.
There are changing rooms, toilets and paid lockers for your belongings.
