Skitourenführer Skiführer Salzburger Land - Band 2

Rudi Kühberger lebt inmitten dieser Berge und kennt sie wie kaum ein Anderer. Mit Akribie und Begeisterung hat er über viele Jahre die Informationen und Übersichtsfotos zu den mehr als 220 Zielen dieses Skiführers zusammengetragen und damit eine eindrucksvolle Bestandsaufnahme der Skitourenmöglichkeiten der Region geschaffen. Gebietsneulinge finden in diesem Buch alle Toptouren zwischen Lofer, Bischofshofen, St. Johann und Abtenau und sogar Einheimische und Gebietskenner werden wahrscheinlich das ein oder andere Schmankerl entdecken, das ihnen bisher noch unbekannt war.

Scope and coverage

This second Salzburg volume zeroes in on the Radstädter Tauern and the whole Lungau, the snow-favored south side of the Alps. Across 13 area chapters and 220+ tours, it ranges from short introductory outings to day-length classics and a handful of serious lines. Expect gentle bowls around Kleinarler Hütte and Altenmarkt–Zauchensee; well-loved “modetours” above Flachauwinkl; and bigger alpine terrain on Obertauern’s ridges and the high Lungau. When Italian lows load the south side, the Lungau sectors come into prime condition.

Covered areas include:

Structure and usability

The book opens with clear how-to sections: using the guide, route descriptions, timing and maps, difficulty grades (WS/ZS/SS), avalanche awareness, and emergency resources. Each chapter introduces access—often highlighting good public-transport links—followed by route lists. Individual tours give ascent lines, aspects, slope angles, vertical gain, distance and time, with photo topos that are unusually legible. Overview tables and an end-of-book “Ziele” index make fast planning easy. A download code provides GPS tracks.

On-snow quality

For ski tourers, the grading is consistent and honest. The variety is excellent: tree-line powder laps (e.g., Schilchegg, Tagweidegg), classic summits like Liebeseck and Gensgitsch, and steeper spring descents including Windschaufel, Steinfeldspitze, Mosermandl and the Faulkogel’s striking northeast face. Seasonal nuances are flagged—snow-rich main ridge in deep winter; longer approaches to the Tappenkarsee while huts are shut. Public-bus notes broaden options and encourage lower-impact travel.

What stands out

Verdict

A standout regional ski-touring guide that balances depth with clarity. If you plan to explore the Radstädter Tauern and Lungau—from comfortable mid-winter tours to steeper spring objectives—this is an authoritative, field-ready companion well worth adding to your pack.
