- Description
-
After skiing is before winter hiking. In an idyllic snowy landscape, Planner's winter hiking trail is surrounded by a magnificent mountain panorama. Comfortably trudging along on two snowshoes, you are already imagining the turns you will make on your two boards in the snow the next day.
- Directions
-
To the right of the Kinderland you start. You hike along the toboggan run and the marked high-altitude trail until you reach a small hut, after which you keep to the right again and climb uphill until you reach the forest. Once you have reached the Plannerkessel, an impressive view of the surrounding mountain panorama opens up to you. Across snow-covered mountain pine fields you now make a flat loop before you make your way back to the mountain village along the same path.

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.
