Schladming

Resort Overview

Schladming ski resort is one of Austria's best with World Cup cachet, north facing snow security and massive scope. Schladming is a wonderful medieval village which lies at the centre of four major areas which connect to make it one of the biggest linked circuits in Austria. With enough variety and scope to satisfy all abilities, Schladming is one of Austria's top five ski destinations!

On The Slopes

Schladming boasts one of the best lift companies in Austria. Modern, fast chairs and gondolas provide Herculean uplift and a powerful snowmaking system is used early in the season to lay a great base.

The main ski area is the Planai and caters well for beginners and intermediates wanting to ski in Schladming. The heavily wooded, north-facing ski slopes, groomed to perfection, are hard to equal. There is a good mixture of skiing here but you can easily venture east to neighbouring Hauser-Kaibling, which has tremendous fast runs on avenues through pine forest. Rohrmoos also has miles of easy slopes and a six person chair, which can be accessed on skis from the Planai and is a good alternative for beginners. Intermediate blues and reds cover the whole 160 km.

For advanced skiers Schladming, with its World Cup pedigree and international cachet, is definitely not to be sniffed at! Further afield is the Dachstein Glacier, included on your ski pass and 45mins away by free ski bus.
