In the Viennese house mountains of the Wienerwald and Wechsel, from Ötscher and Hochkar to the Fischbacher Alps, lies the cradle of alpine skiing. The tradition of ski mountaineering is strong here. It is hardly surprising that not only the Schneeberg, the easternmost two-thousander of the Alps, but also the numerous peaks surrounding it have established themselves as popular destinations for ski tourers. The Rother ski touring guide "Wiener Hausberge" presents 50 varied ski tours. The range of tour options is broad: from easy beginner routes to steep couloirs and gullies, from short ascents and long descents to high alpine ski tours, from popular trails to solitary tracks in untouched nature, there is a suitable tour for every taste and weather situation. Each tour is accompanied by a reliable route description and a tour map.
