From Hirschwang at the north-east foot of the mountain a cable car goes up to about 1500m. The Rax and the Schneeberg are separated by the Höllental (hell valley).

By the Raxseilbahn in Hirschwang, which was the first aerial ropeway in the area of today's Republic of Austria (commencement of construction was 1925), the extensive high plateau of the Rax is an easily attainable tour area and a particular favourite with hikers from Lower Austria and Vienna. The steep flanks of the plateau offer climbing tours of various degrees of difficulty.
