Schladming

Schladming lies amidst the beautiful Dachstein Mountain region in the province of Styria. A large, bustling village, Schladming dates back to Medieval times and has tremendous character. The 1982 World Championships really put Schladming on the map as a world-class international resort and since then hosts the World Cup downhill race, due to take place in January 2005. Coupled with a good snow record and an excellent ski area Schladming has plenty to offer.

Beginners

The excellent Schladming ski school meets either at the top of the Planai cable car (lift pass required) or at Rohrmoos. The Planai nursery areas are extremely well-ordered with several gentle blues. The lower slopes of Rohrmoos are equally suitable for novices.

Intermediates

With its predominantly north-facing slopes, over 86 ski lifts and 160kms of pistes, the Schladming area is first rate for intermediates.

Advanced

For the advanced skier, there are two world-class downhill runs of 5kms each in the Sport Region Schladming area. The Planai itself boasts a couple of very bumpy black runs. Hauser Kaibling hosts rounds of the World Cup Women’s Downhill. The Dachstein Glacier is also available by ski bus (included on the lift-pass) thus guaranteeing snow.
