A relaxing hike in the highest mountain village in Styria at 1600 m above sea level promises pure winter romance, the finest snow and crystal clear mountain air.
After skiing is before winter hiking. In an idyllic snowy landscape, the Planner winter hiking trail is surrounded by a magnificent mountain panorama. As you leisurely trudge along, you can already visualise the turns you will be making in the snow on your two skis the next day.

Turn off the Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) at the crossing Trautenfels in direction Irdning, Donnersbach, Donnersbachwald. In Donnersbach after the center of the village turn left towards Planneralm. 12 km long driveway over the toll-free mountain road up to the Planneralm.
Parking at the large car park on the Planneralm
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.
 Winter mountain boots or sturdy winter boots, possibly telescopic poles with snow discs
In the Plannerkessel, let the impressive mountain scenery and the tranquility take effect on you. Deep relaxation guaranteed.
