Hiking in Schladming-Dachstein
CERTIFIED HIKING QUALITY
The Planai stands proudly in the heart of the Schladming-Dachstein Region, flanked by the Schladminger Tauern range and the Dachstein massif.
In barely another region do ancient bedrock and limestone Alps encounter each other so imposingly. Enthroned to the north is the Dachstein with its precipitous, 1000-meter south face, below which lies the Ramsau plateau. In the south meanwhile, we have the Schladminger Tauern with lush alpine meadows, the Klafferkessel, Giglachseen, Duisitzkar, the Mirror Lakes, the Golling, the Hochwildstelle, and the Kalkspitzen, to name but a few of the jaw-dropping sights.
And located in the midst of it all is your chosen holiday location - ****Hotel Planaihof
