Nandlgrat

Climbing the "Nandlgrat" on Schneeberg is an excellent introduction to alpine scrambling, graded 1-. This isn't technical climbing in the traditional sense, but rather an exhilarating ascent along an airy ridge with exposed sections where you'll frequently use your hands for balance and upward progress. The 1- grade signifies easy rock scrambling, making it accessible to hikers with a good head for heights and sure-footedness, typically requiring no special climbing gear beyond sturdy hiking boots. The route offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Schneeberg massif and the surrounding Lower Austrian Alps. It's a highly rewarding experience, providing a true sense of alpine adventure without extreme difficulty, making it a classic and popular choice for those looking for more than just a hike but less than a full-on rock climb.
