Großarltal: Throneck, 2,214 m

ASCENT: approx. 3.5 hours

From the car park below the Hinterfeld farm via the forest road to a chapel and then further to the Harbachalm. Continue on the hiking trail to the Tofernalm and Tofernscharte. From there, easily make your way left to the rather inconspicuous summit of the Finsterkopf. From there, continue a bit along the ridge to reach the Throneck.

DESCENT: approx. 1 hour

From the summit, slightly left over a beautiful, moderately steep slope, then almost in the fall line, finally through a section overgrown with alder shrubs, onto the alpine meadow floor. After crossing a small stream, you reach a flat section to the Harbachalm forest road. A short ascent, then follow this path back to the starting point.

The starting point for this route is the car park below the Hinterfeld farm. It can be reached from the Großarler Landesstraße via a farm road that branches right just before the tunnel in Hüttschlag. With good snow conditions, the ski tour is also possible from the village of Hüttschlag, with an elevation difference of about 1,250 m.
