Planai Tour | 304

Data:

Tour description

The route takes you on a relaxed ride through the Talbachklamm Gorge into Untertal and continues along partly paved mountain roads to the Planai middle station. From there, the Planaistraße leads further uphill towards Planai. The route passes through mountain forests and offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The descent follows the same route along the Planaistraße back to Schladming.

Please note: This is the winter route, as Bikepark Schladming is closed during winter. In summer, when the bike park is open, the Uphill Flow Trail can be used as an alternative for the ascent. The blue trails of the bike park are also available for the descent.

The right bike: mountain bike or gravel bike with studded tyres, racing bikes are not recommended.

Breakdowns can happen - but rarely at the doorstep of one of the numerous service points: a basic kit of tools and accessories therefore never hurts! Spare inner tube and/or repair kit, universal spanner, air pump, brake and shift cable, as well as a screwdriver can never hurt.

Shorten the tour by taking the gondola up to the middle station.
Plan breaks: Along the route, many huts and inns invite you to stop for a relaxing break and enjoy regional specialties.
E-mountain bike: With electric support, the tour is also suitable for less experienced bikers. There are several e-bike charging stations along the route. Their locations can be seen on the map and in the elevation profile, making it easy to plan your tour and possible charging stops.
