More information

Exit from federal highway B320 at exit "Schladming-Ost" and follow the signs to "Planai Seilbahn" at WM-Park Planai. From there take the cable car to the top of the mountain.

You start at the mountain terminal of Planai cable car and first folow trials n° 53 and 779 (running along each other). You pass by Schafalm Inn and descend until you reach the hut of the Mountain Rescue where trail n° 53 branches off to Lärchkogelhütte Inn.

Via a scenic forest trail - and at first through "Hopsiland" you reach the side summit of Lärchkogel with the Lärchkogelhütte Inn. Through some forest sections and over meadows you continue your descent on trail n° 53 to Schladming, crossing Planaistraße road several times. About half the way Jager Mountain Inn is another refreshment stop.

The trail now descends steeper, and you pass by Mitterwallnerhof on your way to Talbachklamm gorge. When the roaring sounds of the Talbach creek get louder and the towers of the churches get closer, Schladming is not far anymore. After about 2 hours you reach the town at the entrance to Talbachklamm gorge.

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.

Then take Planai cable car to the top of the mountain.

Parking is available at Planai stadium next to the valley terminal of the cable car.
