Roßbrand, Alpine summit in Filzmoos, Austria
Roßbrand is a mountain summit rising to 1,770 meters above sea level in the Filzmoos region, providing wide views across the surrounding peaks and valleys. The panorama includes over 150 visible summits, among them the prominent Dachstein and Hochkönig massifs that shape this corner of the Alps.
The mountain is composed of ancient phyllite rock that has shaped the geological development of the Salzburger Schieferalpen range over millions of years. These stone formations created the foundation for the distinctive character of this Alpine chain.
The Radstädter Hütte below the summit reflects how mountain hospitality brings people together in these Alpine regions. Visitors experience a tradition of simple, warm service that has connected travelers and locals in the high peaks for generations.
A toll-free Panoramastraße road leads to a parking area at the mountain, from where a 20-minute walk takes visitors to the summit. The route is straightforward and well-marked for travelers of various fitness levels.
In winter, the area offers roughly 15 kilometers of cross-country ski trails where visitors can pursue both skating and classic skiing techniques at high altitude. This winter use transforms the place into a different kind of mountain destination when snow arrives.
