Plateau hiking tour Planneralm
Open
This winter tour takes you to the snowy plateau of the highest ski village in Styria. From there you have a wonderful view into the Plannerkessel.
Due to the small difference in altitude and a length of almost 2.5 km, this tour is ideal for families and all those who are on snowshoes for the first time. With the enchanting winter landscape of the Planneralm, this is a small, fine winter hike all around.
