Map, elevation profile & further information

Start at Planet Planai and first head towards the Evangelical Church. From there, the route leads to the Talbachschenke and through the shady Talbach Gorge into the Untertal valley. Continue with a gentle climb to the Landalm and into Untertal-Dorf.

From here, follow the signs of the Planai Loop (304) via Michlbauer and Gföller to the Janerweg. Via the Fastenbergweg you reach the junction with the Planaistraße.

Now continue uphill on the Planaistraße towards the Planai. At the middle station, you can – if the Bikepark Schladming is open – optionally take the Uphill Flow Trail to the top station (subject to a fee). If the bike park is closed, the ascent continues entirely via the Planaistraße.

At the top, near the Schafalm or the mountain station, the bike can be parked and charged. From there, the hike to the Krahbergzinken begins. After returning, the descent is either via the Planaistraße or – if open – via the flow trail in the Bikepark Schladming back to Schladming and the starting point.
