Route description

  1. The Preunegg Jet gondola runs from Pichl, about 4 km west of Schladming, up to the Reiteralm.
  2. From the top station follow path no. 66 past the Reiteralmsee reservoir and, at its end, into the forest towards the Spiegelsee.
  3. The wide path runs along the eastern slope below the ridge between the Rippetegg and the Gasselhöhe. After about 45 minutes you reach the Spiegelsee, with the small Obersee a few minutes above it.
  4. Return the same way or, from halfway, via path no. 66a past the Untersee (about 30 minutes longer).

Good to know

The best reflection

The water is calmest in the morning before the wind picks up. Take the first lift.

No swimming

The Spiegelsee is a shallow lake in a sensitive setting, and swimming is not allowed.

With a pushchair

With a pushchair, stay near the top station: the loop around the Reiteralmsee is step-free and the Windel-Wagerl-Weg (1.6 km) is designed for pushchairs.

One lift per day

The Schladming-Dachstein Card covers one lift up and down per day. That's why the trip starts and ends at the same lift.

Why “easy”

Blue trail: wide paths, gentle climbs.
