This ski tour takes you to the highest ski touring mountain on the Planneralm: past the snow-covered Plannersee, you go up to the Plannerknot and then along the ridge to the summit cross of the Hochrettelstein at 2,220 m.

On this ski tour you start at the mountain rescue house. At the beginning, next to the ski slope, it leads you first to the Plannersee and then somewhat steeper up to the Plannerknot. From here you traverse a long way to a small saddle before you climb again more steeply to the summit of the Hochrettelstein, with a beautiful summit cross. As a downhill variant you have the following options:
- Following the ascent track back to the Planneralm
- From the summit to the southeast into the Plienten and in another two hours to the Plientensattel, then briefly very steep to the Große Rotbühel and finally on the ski slope Gläserboden down to the Planneralm. The descent into the Plienten is one of the longest in Styria with its 850 meters of altitude.
