łatwe Baby carriage routes · Schladming
Enjoy summer in the hightest playground of Styria - Hopsiland is situated at 1,800 m above sea level. Kids will enjoy themselves with the many variations of playing equipment - surrounded by mountain forest and meadows.
Fun, adventure and play are waiting for the kids on top of the Planai in Schladming. The 1.5 km long loop trail for families starts at the mountain terminal of Planai cable-car and takes you and your loved ones to giant slides, climbing towers, swings and to a small water world.
Planai mascot Hopsi already greets the guests at the valley terminal and invites into his world full of adventures. With a bit of luck you might catch one of the "Hopsi gondolas" for your ride up or down the mountain. All-in-all there 6 stations are waiting for the visitors:
- Competition marble runs
- birdlife
- Water world
- Rabbit Creek with gold panning facility
- "Kasalm"
- Alpine motor skills
- Mountain sports world
- Schladming crystal
- Forest path
- Hopsi Express
- North Pole
In case you need a break in-between the restaurants Planaihof, Schladminger Hütte, Onkel Willy's Hütte, Märchenwiesenhütte and Schafalm serve regional dishes.

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 and from there you can take a short trip to the North pole station and the Lärchkogelhütte (approx. 20 minutes).
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.
