The tour

A classic ski tour that takes you high above the Planneralm. Wide slopes and magnificent views are guaranteed. For many, the Karlspitz is also the destination of this tour. Another plus point - you can also do it in spring. The altitude of the Planneralm makes it possible.

Turn-by-turn directions

You start this ski tour at Kinderland and follow the markings to the southwest, past the Kothüttensee on the pronounced ridge and on or next to it to the Karlspitze with summit cross. Continue on the flat ridge to the south and finally moderately steep to the Schreinl, where you are also welcomed by a summit cross. Up to here you can estimate about 2.5 hours walking time. This is followed by the descent to the Goldbachsee, where you skin up again to ascend the Goldbachscharte. Here you can take off your skins and enjoy the final descent to the starting point Planneralm.

Author’s recommendation

At the Goldbachscharte you can still take the short, steep climb to the Jochspitze. If the conditions are right, you will experience a great descent there!
