A beautiful snowshoe walk from Preiner Gscheid to Waxriegelhaus. Showshoes can be hired at Raxalpenhof.
Waxriegelhaus is situated at the foot of the Rax, 1361m above sea level, and is open all year round. As a nature park partner, the cabin offers quiet, traffic-free and natural surroundings with woods and pastures. This pleasant atmosphere can also be enjoyed on the way up from Preiner Gscheid. The top of the pass, a popular starting point for numerous hikes, is always busy, and before your climb you can fortify yourself in the Edelweißhütte. But after a few yards you are surrounded by the quiet of the woods, and reach the Waxriegelhaus in about an hour. The Waxriegelhaus offers its own beer and various culinary delicacies to strengthen the hiker, such as Syrian beef specialities. From Preiner Gscheid you can also easily go up to the Waxriegelhaus via the forest road, which takes somewhat longer, but avoids any steep inclines.
