Location and landscape

Other peaks besides the Windberg are the Amaißbichl ( 1828  m , in the east on the Styrian-Lower Austrian border), the Schönhaltereck ( 1860  m , west of the Windberg) and the Donnerwand ( 1799  m , in the northwest). The connection to the Rax is made by the wet comb .

The Snow Alps area, together with the Rax and the Schneeberg , belongs to the catchment area of ​​the I. Vienna High Spring Water Pipeline . Drinking water from the Mürz and Salza catchment areas is conveyed to Hinternaßwald through the Schneealpenstollen , built between 1965 and 1968 by the City of Vienna , which was cut directly through the massif.

On the high plateau there is the Schneealpenhaus at an altitude of 1784  m and several alpine huts. On the western edge of the plateau, on the Hinteralm, there is another Alpine Club shelter, the Hinteralmhaus . The wooded mountains and hills north of the Schneealpe are not populated.
