Hopsi's Winter Hiking Path

Hopsi's Winter Hiking Path is a groomed winter walking trail on top of Planai.
This beautiful winter walk is located in the area of Planai cable-car mountain terminal, "Märchenwiese", and "Lärchkogel". It is perfect to enjoy the view to the plateau of Ramsau with the Dachstein massif. Also, it is a good choice, in case you want to meet with friends who are skiing on Planai, and grab a meal at one of the ski huts together. It will take you about 1 hour for the hike.
