My moment of joy

Mountain expert Kurt
In summer, host Kurt takes guests on sunrise trips up the Hochwurzen. This daily natural spectacle is always special and extraordinary. No two sunrises are alike. This is a moment of profound joy for Kurt. Hiking on the pristine mountains in the region also gives him a lot of strength.

At the foot of the Hochwurzen, directly opposite the valley station, you can decide for yourself whether you prefer to climb the surrounding peaks or tackle part of the route in comfort with the gondola lift.
The extensive municipality of Rohrmoos-Untertal in the heart of the Schladming-Dachstein holiday region stretches from the Hochgebirge of the "Niederen Tauern" to the mountain town of Schladming and forms the alpine hiking centre. The sunny plateau of Rohrmoos with its magnificent valleys "Ober- and Untertal", the two local mountains Hochwurzen and Planai and the water-rich Schladminger Tauern attract many hikers and nature lovers from the spring to the autumn.

Open 10 rules for hikers
- Self-assessment
Estimate your level of physical fitness before each mountain tour and assess your strengths as well as those of your companions - especially those of your children! Surefootedness and a head for heights are often very important! - Planning and preparation
Plan each intended mountain tour precisely. Hiking maps and guides as well as information from alpine clubs and local experts such as mountain guides and lodge operators can offer crucial support. - Equipment
On the mountain, you will need appropriate equipment and clothing, in particular strong, high footwear with a gripping sole. Protection from the weather and the cold are indispensable, since the weather can often change surprisingly. - Information for third parties
For reasons of security, especially in case of an emergency, please specify the route and destination - in the lodge books, in restaurants or with friends - including the time you plan to return. - There is strength in calmness
Always adjust your pace to your physical abilities and the condition of your companions. Walking too fast leads to premature exhaustion and you should keep in mind that you have to walk back. - Do not leave the marked trail
The approach of steep grassy slopes, especially when they are wet, from steep snowfields and glaciers is always very difficult and dangerous. - Do not loosen stones ...
... because this can seriously endanger other mountain hikers. Places with a risk of stone impact should be passed through as quickly as possible and with great attention and caution. - Turn back in good time
This is not a reason to be ashamed, but a sign of caution. It will become necessary if the weather turns, the mist comes down, and also if the route is too difficult or has deteriorated. - Keep calm when an accident occurs!
Try to summon help by means of signals such as shouting or waving with large items of clothing, etc. An injured person should remain at the scene of the accident if possible. - Keep the mountain world clean
Keep the mountain world clean and take waste with you into the valley. This will help you keep our mountains clean so that others can enjoy their majestic diversity and splendour.
