More information

Take Planai cable-car from Schladming to the top of Planai. It is also possible to reach the trail head by car via the Planaistraße toll road.

At the mountain lift terminal, head along the “Planai Panoramarundweg” to the trail crossing and follow path No. 779. From there, continue along the timber line to the Krahbergsattel. Now through steep switchbacks, you will hike to the Grosses Steinmandl. Here you will leave the Schladminger Höhenweg, which branches off to the right towards the Preintalerhütte – the hike up the Krahbergzinken leads us straight, as we follow the unmarked trail to the summit. Traversing from the lower peak to the summit cross requires caution – though it is well secured. The impressive panoramas and the open views of Untertal valley are breathtaking.

In the town of Schladming you can take the Citybus. From Rohrmoos take the Planai buses to Planet Planai, from Ramsau take the buses of Ramsauer Verkehrsbetriebe. 

From there continue with the Planai cable-car.

Parking is available at the valley terminal of Planai cable-car.
