The tour
Map, elevation profile & further information
From the top station of the Planai cable car you go down through the Schafalm forest where the first game elements are already waiting. Past the Schafalm, we go along the marble runs (you can get the ball at the mountain station) to the bird world and continue through a short forest to Hopsi's water world. Here the World Cup path branches off towards Schladming. Further ahead at the Märchenwiesenhütte is the gold panning facility at Rabbit Creek. Here the Hopsi's World Tour loop takes you on a loop to Lärchkogel and back.
You continue across mountain meadows (Hopsi's favorite ski slopes in winter) and through the sparse "carrot forest" to Hopsi's mountain sports world. There are also numerous play elements along the way. Past the Weitmoosalm we then head towards Onkel Willy's Hütte and the Schladminger Kristall.
Above the Planaihof you can branch off onto the forest path around the Planai summit - great animal figures are waiting to be discovered here. From the Planaihof you go past the Hopsiflug and the mountain station of the Hopsi Express back to the Schladminger Hütte and the mountain station of the Planai cable car.
In the town of Schladming you can take the Citybus. From Rohrmoos take the Planai buses to Planet Planai, from Ramsau take the buses of Ramsauer Verkehrsbetriebe.

It's anyway the most fun when you explore Hopsiland together - and there is also some playing equipment where parents will enjoy themselves too :)
Hiking or trekking shoes with grip sole, jacket - and a lot of excitement :)
Another option for a short walk is Planai Panorama trail (45 minutes to 1 hour)
Both trails are suitable for prams too!
