Starting at Arzkasten car park, take the steep Alpsteig path to the Marienbergalm mountain hut. From there, follow the gravel path towards Marienbergjoch. Just below the Marienbergjoch ridge, a trail leads west towards the Handschuhspitze. You need to be sure-footed for this steep alpine path, which crosses scree fields and leads up the mountain to the summit. The views from the top are fantastic.

Forecast
After yesterdays few clearer spells, the weather will get much worse again today due to an area of low pressure pushing in from the Arctic Ocean bringing humid and cold air into our region. We will see a dull day with frequent snowfall.
Tendency
After this excellent performance, Old Mother Frost will leave us for a while. From Tuesday, the weather will become drier and the clouds will partially clear.
