- Description
-
The Planneralm is a popular skiing area in the northern part of the Wölzer Tauern. But up here you will also find a wonderful area for snowshoe hiking. In the mostly very snowy Plannerkessel, the tour to the 2037 m high Jochspitze can be made easier or more demanding depending on your skills and abilities.
- Directions
-
From the parking lot you start in the direction of Hildes Plannerstub'n and follow the toboggan run or the marked high altitude trail uphill. You will soon reach a mountain pasture, the Höhenplateau, and continue over snow-covered mountain pines in the direction of Kothüttensee. Before you turn left and climb up a steep step to the Goldbachscharte and then to the summit of the Jochspitze, take a short break and look at the surrounding Plannerberge. The descent takes place to the Kothüttensee, which is the same as the ascent route, and then there are no limits to your creativity when it comes to your own track layout.

Rental of snowshoes, poles and safety equipment at Sport Scherz and Sport Schöttl - Safety instructions
-
Before every snowshoe hike you should always check the current avalanche report - available at www.lawine-steiermark.at. Mountain sports and the assessment of the situation on site are - in winter all the more so - above all subject to personal responsibility. Tourism associations or avalanche warning services do not assume any liability based on information provided. Do not go on snowshoe hikes alone. Together it is more fun anyway. Always be aware of risks and react to danger signs. Observe existing regulations such as hunting and game reserves, reforestation or young growth areas You should always have your cell phone well charged. Have you also saved the emergency number 140 of the mountain rescue service? If you have no reception, take out the SIM card and dial 112.
