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:
- Kleinarl; Flachauwinkl; Altenmarkt–Zauchensee; Unter- & Obertauern
- Tweng–Mauterndorf; Weißpriach–Tamsweg
- Salzburger Nockberge (Karneralm, Schönfeld, Bundschuh)
- Katschberg–Murtal; Zederhaus; Riedingtal
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
- Meticulous local knowledge from Rudi Kühberger, who lives in the range.
- Sharp, annotated photo topos and thoughtful cartography keyed to DAV sheets 45/1 and 45/2.
- Safety-forward features: avalanche resources, QR links to planning tools, and a section on low-impact touring.
- Depth: from beginner-friendly tours to ambitious 40° lines, all within a coherent layout.
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.
