    About Schladming Ski Resort

    Set against a stunning alpine backdrop in the heart of Styria, Schladming ski resort is a true Austrian gem that offers fabulous skiing, lively apres ski, and traditional alpine charm in equal measure.

    Part of the vast Ski Amadé region, Schladming gives skiers access to over 230km of beautifully groomed pistes across the Schladming 4-Mountain ski area, linking the resorts of Planai, Hochwurzen, Hauser Kaibling and Reiteralm.

    With wide, varied runs and a super-modern lift system, this is the perfect playground for intermediate and advanced skiers looking to cover serious ground. But the fun doesn't stop there. Just a short ski bus ride away, you'll find the Dachstein Glacier, offering high-altitude skiing and snowboarding with incredible views – and snow reliability long into the season.

    Whether you're carving corduroy pistes, enjoying long descents through tree-lined terrain, or just taking in the stunning scenery, Schladming ski holidays deliver unforgettable days on the mountain.

    Off the slopes, Schladming is just as impressive. The town itself is postcard-pretty, with cobbled streets, traditional Austrian architecture, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The apres ski here is typically Austrian and fun without being over the top – with the famous Hohenhaus Tenne right at the base of the Planai lift offering one of the largest and most entertaining après-ski venues in the Alps. From sun terraces and schnapps to live music and late-night dancing, the party vibe is always on hand for those who want it.

    Best of all, Schladming is easily accessible, with a short transfer of just over an hour from Salzburg Airport - making it a top choice for short ski holidays as well as longer stays. Whether you're looking for an action-packed group trip, a relaxed alpine escape, or a snow-sure destination with glacier skiing on offer, Schladming combines big-mountain skiing with authentic Austrian charm and unbeatable convenience.

    "Schladming is especially popular with intermediates, and the vast ski area should attract those looking for a different Austrian ski resort. The apres ski here is pretty lively too!"

    Schladming forms part of the famous 4-Mountain Ski Area: Planai, Hochwurzen, Hauser Kaibling, and Reiteralm - linked seamlessly by modern lifts and wide, beautifully groomed pistes. For beginners and families, each mountain offers gentle learning zones, magic carpets, and broad nursery slopes ideal for building confidence. Family-friendly areas like the Planai Kinderland and Rohrmoos beginner meadows make it easy for new skiers to progress in a relaxed, supportive environment. For intermediate skiers, Schladming is a paradise. The majority of the 230km of connected pistes are sweeping blue and red runs - perfect for cruising and exploring all four mountains in a day. Intermediates will love the long, scenic descents from Hauser Kaibling and the flowing, confidence-inspiring reds on Planai and Reiteralm. With consistently excellent grooming, fast lifts, and beautiful viewpoints, it's easy to clock up mileage while enjoying varied terrain that never feels repetitive. The interconnected layout also makes it simple to plan relaxed circuits or venture a bit farther each day. Advanced skiers are equally well catered for. Schladming hosts the Night Slalom World Cup, meaning experts can test themselves on steep, technical pistes such as the famous Planai black run. Reiteralm in particular is known for its race-training areas and challenging slopes that draw elite athletes. Beyond the pistes, advanced skiers will find exciting freeride terrain and ski-touring routes in the wider Schladming-Dachstein region. Whether you’re chasing steep groomers, moguls, or off-piste adventures, Schladming delivers plenty of challenge in a world-class setting.
