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.

Turn-by-turn directions
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.
Getting there

Security
Before every snowshoe hike you should always check the current avalanche report - available at www.lawine-steiermark.at. Mountain sports and the assessment of the situation on site are - in winter all the more so - above all subject to personal responsibility. Tourism associations or avalanche warning services do not assume any liability based on information provided.
- Do not go on snowshoe hikes alone. Together it is more fun anyway.
- Always be aware of risks and react to danger signs.
- Observe existing regulations such as hunting and game reserves, reforestation or young growth areas
- You should always have your cell phone well charged. Have you also saved the emergency number 140 of the mountain rescue service? If you have no reception, take out the SIM card and dial 112.
Equipment
- Always important: snowshoes, winter mountain boots or sturdy mountain boots as well as telescopic poles with snow plates
- In addition to food and warm drinks, pack spare clothing and a first aid kit in your backpack
- Choose your clothing according to the onion layer system
- An avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel are, as in ski touring, required in alpine terrain
- Use a backpack to which you can attach your snowshoes
- You should also pack maps and/or tour descriptions. GPX tracks on your cell phone or GPS device will also help you
- Rental of snowshoes, poles and safety equipment at Sport Scherz and Sport Schöttl

A short ascent to the Goldbachscharte rewards you with an incomparable view of the Niedere Tauern.
