Schladming, picturesquely situated in the upper Enns Valley, is one of the most popular vacation regions in the Austrian Alps. The town is surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery – the rugged limestone massif of the Dachstein rises into the sky to the north, while the forested mountain ranges of the Schladminger Tauern extend to the south. This location makes Schladming an ideal destination for nature lovers, active vacationers and connoisseurs.
Ski, mountains and events
4 mountains and a glacier
Thanks to the famous 4-mountain ski area, which connects Hauser Kaibling, Planai, Hochwurzen and Reiteralm, Schladming is a mecca for winter sports enthusiasts in winter. 230 kilometers of slopes, modern lifts, snow parks and floodlit slopes for night skiing ensure unlimited skiing fun. Equally popular is Ramsau am Dachstein, which enjoys international fame as a cross-country skiing center.
Myth of the Dachstein
Even in the warmer months of the year, the region offers a diverse range of activities: from challenging via ferratas and family-friendly themed hiking trails such as the Wild Water Trail to mountain bike trails, high ropes courses and adventure playgrounds on the adventure mountains. The Dachstein glacier is particularly spectacular, where visitors can explore the “Stairway to Nothingness”, the Sky Walk and the underground ice palace.
Culturally, Schladming can look back on over 700 years of history, which is reflected in the historic old town, Romanesque churches and traditional festivals. The town museum and the winter sports museum provide fascinating insights into the region’s alpine history and sporting development.
Tradition and modernity
Numerous events such as the internationally renowned Nightrace, the Mid Europe Brass Music Festival or the Ennstal Classic also make Schladming a hotspot for event lovers. The vacation offer is complemented by an excellent tourist infrastructure with cozy hotels, rustic alpine huts, modern chalets and attractive vacation apartments.
Whether winter or summer, active vacation or relaxation, family vacation or romantic weekend for two – Schladming offers the right backdrop and unforgettable experiences for every type of vacation in the middle of the Styrian Alps.
