SCHLADMING SKI HOLIDAY INFO

The resort of Schladming is historic and charming. There is an attractive pedestrianised centre and an authenticity to the town due to the fact that it is a working town as well as a regional powerhouse in terms of winter sports tourism. The resort altitude is fairly low but the snow record is good and the northerly facing slopes offer good reliability. Schladming used to boast the fastest average speed for a mens’ FIS downhill race course. The last section that leads down into the resort is steep and can be highly challenging in poor conditions. This demanding terrain is very much at odds with the rest of the ski area which is dominated by intermediate, tree-lined cruisers.

The Planai (the name of the slalom world cup course) is one of the main events in the season. A great atmosphere, as it is a night race with amazing party besides the main event. Every good skier will find great slopes in this resorts and also intermediate and beginners will be more than satisfied. Schladming also offers some really cool mountain huts, like "Onkel Willis Hütte" with typical atmosphere and good food.

Steep and icy section back to the Schladming base station makes it not an ideal exit point for beginners. The rest of the area is ideal for beginners and intermediates.

Schladming is a working town and not as quaint as some ski holiday resorts in Austria, it is though more authentic with a good atmosphere.

Good facilities in Schladming for families and the entire ski area is below the tree-line. There is little slope-side accommodation though.
