Very beautiful ski tour to the local mountain of St. Gallen.
From Pölzau via the Admonter Höhe to a beautiful panoramic peak.

Follow the forest road (the first bends can be shortened) to a meadow hollow. At the right edge of the hollow, ascend on the summer trail to the Seisenalm on the Admonter Höhe and, after the alpine pasture, turn right up the sparse slope to the ridge.
If the avalanche situation is safe or if there is firn, the Kälberleiten is a great pleasure.
Author’s recommendation
From the summit, either descend through the beautiful cirque of the Kälberleiten (only in safe avalanche conditions!!) or return via the ascent track.
If the avalanche situation is safe or if there is firn, the Kälberleiten is a real treat.

Turn-by-turn directions
Follow the forest road (the first bends can be shortened) to a meadow hollow. At the right edge of the hollow, ascend on the summer trail to the Seisenalm on the Admonter Höhe and, after the alpine pasture, turn right up the sparse blow to the ridge. Follow the ridge northwards to the summit of the Großer Maiereck. Before that, on the free section of the ridge, watch out for avalanches!
In very safe conditions you can turn right shortly before the Seiseralm and ascend through the Kälberleiten.
Descent: From the summit, either descend through the beautiful cirque of the Kälberleiten (only in safe avalanche conditions!!) or return via the ascent track.
At the meadow hollow you can follow the initially flat forest road on the right and later shorten it through the woods.
