Up high on the Planai
The 10-seater gondola takes you up to the Schladminger Planai in comfort. On the ascent, you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Schladminger Tauern.
Once at the top, a variety of hikes await around the Planai summit, to Krahbergzinken or to the “Ort der Besinnung” (a walkable wooden sculpture located by an idyllic mountain lake on the panoramic circular hiking trail).
Family fun at Hopsiland Planai
Hopsiland on the Planai is a true paradise for families and nature lovers. In Hopsiland, young guests experience great adventures and many opportunities to explore the mountain world:
- 1.5 km circular trail
- Marble runs
- Climbing stations
- Water playground
- Swings, slides
- Exercise stations
- Free Hopsi Express inclined lift
The circular hiking trail starts at the mountain station of the Planai cable car and runs for 1.5 kilometres past many play stations and a total of 6 huts & restaurants right along the route. Here, the youngest adventurers can climb, slide, swing and let off steam to their heart’s content, while parents enjoy the fantastic views of the surrounding mountains.
A special highlight is the North Pole station. It delights with a slide, various marble runs, motor skills elements and, above all, a viewing platform that offers a panoramic view over the entire Region Schladming-Dachstein.
Bikepark Schladming
In the Bikepark Schladming, two-wheeled enthusiasts get their money’s worth. With a total length of 42 kilometres, trails such as the Flowline, the Uphill Flow Trail or the Jumpline offer the perfect opportunity for both beginners and pros to pursue their passion.
Highlights: The Flowline (ideal for beginners and families with children), the 99 Jumpline for pros and the Uphill Flow Trail for maximum uphill riding fun.
NEW: A Flowline from the mountain to the valley
In 2025, you can look forward to a continuous blue trail that stretches from the Planai mountain station at 1,830 m down to the Planai Stadium at 740 m – around 16 kilometres of pure riding fun!
