The tour
The short tour connects several farms and hotels in the area of Fastenberg on Planai. Walking along forest trails and along alpine meadows you enjoy the view to the plateau of Ramsau and into the Ennstal valley. An easy walk that is also a good choice for families.

Now make a left at the trail junction and walk West to the starting point via the Asingerhof farm.

Security

Changes in weather patterns, quick falls in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow are some of the dangers that can be encountered on a hiking tour. Hosts of alpine huts and mountain refuges have a lot of experience in the mountains and can give good advice about weather and the trails. Poor equipment, overestimation of one's own capabilities, carelessness, poor personal constitution and/or wrong judgement  can lead to critical situations. In case of thunderstorms: avoid summits, ridges and steel ropes.

GPS data and orienteering

Available GPS data - just like hiking maps - is only a guidance for orientation and can never depict a trail exactly with all its details. Especially at dangerous spots it is essential to judge on site how to proceed.

In an emergency please call:

  • 140 - for Alpine emergencies (all over Austria)
  • 112 - European GSM emergency number
Equipment
Hiking or trekking shoes with grip sole, jacket.
