Schladminger Tauern
In strict geographical terms this limestone region embraces the Schladminger Tauern, which begin east of the Radstädter Tauern pass. This is probably the most interesting walking country for the summer visitor in the whole of the Niedere Tauern.

Hochgolling and Hochwildstelle
The highest peaks in the Schladminger Tauern part of the range, the Hochgolling (2,863m/9,394ft), with its mighty northern face, and the massive pyramid of the Hochwildstelle (2,747m/9,013ft) can be climbed from Schladming, in the Enns valley, by way of the Golling-Hütte (1,656m/5,348ft) or via the Preintaler Hütte (1,656m/5,433ft); either way the ascent is relatively short and is accordingly very popular with climbers.
Planai
The central ridge of the Schladminger Tauern is less suitable for skiing, but there is excellent skiing to be had on the northern outliers, including the Planai, with the Schadminger Hütte (1,830m/6,004ft), and the Hauser Kaibling, with the Krummholz-Hütte (1,850m/6,070ft).
Schladminger Tauern Lakes
The Schladminger Tauern's high valleys are extraordinarily rich in lakes, such as the Giglachseen near Schladming, the Riesachsee (1,333m/4,374ft) on the way to the Preintaler Hütte, the beautiful lakes near Aich in the Seewig valley, the Bodensee and Hüttensee, and the lonely Schwarzensee near Kleinsölk. Somewhat unusually, the lakes are particularly numerous in the high corries south of the Preintaler Hütte.
