- Duración: 2 h 30
- Temporada: Winter, with snow, except the November–December maintenance
- Para quién: Adults and children with no experience and some fitness; waterproof winter footwear

Snow · 2–3 h · snowshoes and poles hired with the ticket · signposted routes for beginners

In winter the Rax has no pistes: you walk. With the cable car ticket you can book snowshoes and poles online, and at the top you have a network of signposted routes across the plateau, designed also for people who have never used them. Normal fitness is enough, waterproof warm clothing and winter boots above the ankle. At the Berggasthof they hire out toboggans so the children can slide down a hillock. Do not walk down to the valley in winter: the path is usually icy.
