This relaxed snowshoe hike takes you to the little star of the Planneralm. Covered with winterly white, the snow-covered mountain lake is a worthwhile destination even in winter.
While the Plannersee is a popular hiking destination for families with children in summer, in winter it is an idyllic insider tip for you as a snowshoe hiker. Especially if you would like to take it a bit more relaxed. Step by step, off the slopes, you move on the softest snow. Can you see the lake above? Probably not, because in Styria's highest ski village it hibernates under a thick blanket of snow.
