Highlights for Nature lovers

Find peace, feel nature, recharge your batteries
Sometimes it doesn't take much to recharge your batteries - just fresh mountain air, a wide view and the feeling of being in the moment. The Planai and Hochwurzen offer just that: places where you can take a deep breath, move freely and be close to nature. The Schladming-Dachstein region is a real paradise for all those who love being outdoors, walking, hiking or simply enjoying themselves.
Leisurely hiking
with vision
Gentle trails await on the Planai and Hochwurzen, leading through forests and along panoramic routes. Whether it's a short loop to relax or an extended half-day tour - those who like to exercise will find ideal conditions here. The paths are well signposted and often equipped with rest areas, benches and viewing platforms.
Forest bathing & mindfulness
on the mountain
Immersing yourself in the forest is particularly soothing - far away from the hustle and bustle, accompanied by the rustling of leaves and the scent of moss and coniferous wood. On the Hochwurzen and around Schladming, there are quiet paths and forest passages that are ideal for forest bathing. A natural way to reduce stress, calm down and consciously perceive your surroundings.
Enjoy nature
without any hustle and bustle
Not every tour has to be sporty. On the Schladming mountains, leisurely walking trails invite you to take a stroll - for example in Hopsiland or along the Bankerlweg trail on the Hochwurzen. Both paths are ideal for slow steps, good conversation or simply enjoying the view. The mountain panorama is a constant companion - with views of the Dachstein, the Enns Valley and the surrounding peaks.
Places to pause for a moment
Durchatmen & Genießen
Special resting places with a view, places by the water or enchanted clearings make the Planai & Hochwurzen real places of power. Here you can let go, observe and breathe deeply. Many of these places are easily accessible - on foot, by gondola or via easy forest trails. Once you've discovered them, you'll keep coming back.
Switch off
in Schladming-Dachstein
The region is known for its special combination of nature experience and availability: hiking trails start right at the mountain station, refreshment stops are never far away and many things are easily accessible even without a car. Whether you are traveling alone, as a couple or with friends - here you can let yourself drift, consciously spend time and get away from it all.
Culinary breaks
with a view
Huts with sun terraces, regional cuisine and friendly service invite you to take a break. Those who treat themselves to a glass of buttermilk or a piece of strudel after a walk know that enjoyment is also part of the nature experience. The Planai & Hochwurzen combine exercise, scenery and culinary delights in a particularly charming way.
