Description Schladming – Planai/​​Hochwurzen/​​Hauser Kaibling/​​Reiteralm (4-Berge-Skischaukel)

REITERALM
In just 15 minutes from the Tauern motorway, you reach the first ski area in Styria. From the valley station in Gleiming, the modern eight-seater gondola Reiteralm "Silver Jet" takes you up to the mid-station. Here, beginners will find their territory at the Haseneckl lifts, the connecting lift, on the practice slope, and in the children's area. With the detachable six-seater chairlift with weather hoods, Gasselhöhebahn II, you can reach the summit at 1,860 m. From up here, the entire ski area is at your disposal. The challenging descent No. 3a runs almost parallel to the six-seater chairlift back to the mid-station, the intermediate descent No. 1 – Gasselhöhe – World Cup slope – also leads in a wide arc back down to the mid-station, and descent No. 2 runs along the Sepp'n Jet, a detachable four-seater chairlift with weather hoods, down towards Pichl.

The valley runs all the way down to Pichl lead over alpine meadows, and you can also branch off to the Finale Grande valley run to Gleiming. From Pichl, you can take the double chairlift Reiteralm I back up into the ski area or float towards Schladming with the eight-seater gondola Hochwurzen I. There are also beautiful runs at the Reiteralm III drag lifts and the Preunegg-Jet. The slopes on the Reiteralm are mostly in forest clearings and are very wide and beautifully designed, offering plenty of space for your turns. The Finale Grande valley run ends directly at the Silver Jet, so you can float back up without climbing stairs. The modern valley station leaves nothing to be desired, and throughout the ski area, cozy huts await for a break. Après-ski here is not as big as in Schladming, but there are also nice restaurants and bars where you can stop in after skiing or snowboarding. The MühlStodl awaits you right at the valley station.

PLANAI-HOCHWURZEN
From Schladming, you can enter the Planai & Hochwurzen ski area at two points: either with the eight-seater gondola Planai West, which also provides the connection to Hochwurzen, or with the six-seater gondola Planai, which takes you via a mid-station directly up to the Planai. The upper part of the Planai is served by the eight-seater chairlifts Burgstallalmbahn and Märchenwiesenbahn. From here, you can reach the four-seater chairlift Sonneck and the Mitterhausbahn, as well as the Mitterhaus descent to the Senderbahn into the Hauser Kaibling ski area. The runs on the Planai all lead through wide forest clearings back down to the valley.

Just below the mid-station of the Planai lift, the triple chairlift starts and runs parallel to the gondola up to the Planai. The detachable six-seater chairlift with weather hoods Planai 6er (Fastenbergbahn) and the detachable four-seater chairlift Lärchkogel also open up the slopes on the front side of the Planai. From the Lärchkogel, you reach the Weitmoos drag lifts, which are very suitable for practice. Here you will also find the Snowpark, Funslope, and Funcross of the Planai. You can head down to the valley either via the intermediate run "Die Schwungvolle" or the challenging FIS run. If you want to switch over to Hochwurzen, you can swing down to the mid-station of the eight-seater gondola Planai West "Über die freien Wiesen" and then take the gondola down to the valley, from where you reach Hochwurzen with the double chairlift Rohrmoos I, which is served by 8 lifts.

From Hochwurzen, you can then reach the Reiteralm via the Pichl run. In the ski area, there are numerous cozy huts for a break, and at the end of the ski day, you can either stop at the new après-ski center at the Planai valley station or in one of the igloos in the pedestrian zone.

HAUSER KAIBLING
Starting from the Planai, you can take the Senderbahn directly into the center of the Hauser Kaibling ski area. From here, a valley run down to Haus/Ennstal is already possible. Alternatively, the two chairlifts Quattralpina and Kaibling 6er are ideal for repeat runs. Beginners feel very comfortable at the Höfi-Express I and II. From the valley in Haus/Ennstal, an eight-seater gondola takes you back up the mountain. In the high-altitude areas of Hauser Kaibling, the Gipfelbahn and the Alm 6er open up even more runs. At the end of the day, the AlmArenA awaits for a lively après-ski.
