Safety information
Mountain sports and the assessment of the situation on site are - even more so in winter - primarily subject to personal responsibility. Tourism associations or avalanche warning services do not assume any liability based on the information provided.
- Check the weather and avalanche situation at www.lawine-steiermark.at before each ski tour.
- The use of the tour description is at your own risk and responsibility.
- Do not go on a ski tour alone. It's more fun together anyway!
- Always behave risk-conscious and react to danger signs!
- Respect existing regulations, such as hunting and game protection areas, reforestation or young growth areas.
- You should always have your cell phone well charged. Do you have the emergency numbers saved? Mountain rescue: 140. If you have no reception, take out the sim card and dial 112.

Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
On this ski tour you start at the mountain rescue house. At the beginning, next to the ski slope, it leads you first to the Plannersee and then somewhat steeper up to the Plannerknot. From here you traverse a long way to a small saddle before you climb again more steeply to the summit of the Hochrettelstein, with a beautiful summit cross. As a downhill variant you have the following options:
- Following the ascent track back to the Planneralm
- From the summit to the southeast into the Plienten and in another two hours to the Plientensattel, then briefly very steep to the Große Rotbühel and finally on the ski slope Gläserboden down to the Planneralm. The descent into the Plienten is one of the longest in Styria with its 850 meters of altitude.
