The tour
Due to the small difference in altitude and a length of almost 2.5 km, this tour is ideal for families and all those who are on snowshoes for the first time. With the enchanting winter landscape of the Planneralm, this is a small, fine winter hike all around.

You start on the right side of the Kinderland and walk along the marked trail to a small hut, after which you turn right again and walk uphill to a small wooded area. Once there, a view into the Plannerkessel opens up to you. Continue over snow-covered mountain pines and after about 20 minutes you will reach the snow-covered Kothüttensee, embedded below the Jochspitze. CONTENTS here and enjoy the breathtaking high plateau before you make your way back.
