You have to be off the slopes by 1700 so they can piste them all ready for the morning. The first few runs in the morning are as a result fantastic. There is night skiing but this is a small extra charge. There was a distinct lack of snow this season but you would never have known it by the way they kept the pistes groomed. First class resort management!
we left our car in garages that were situated just above the lifts. and all the slopes were nicely done and prepared.
We last visited Schladming in 2009, we enjoyed the visit but it was getting tired. There is now new lifts, better facilities and a really great atmosphere for all to enjoy. The guys worked hard on the pistes but lack of snow then coupled with too much at once kind of spoilt the week. Lots to choose from in the evening, very authentic Austrian town with four peaks to ski in
From the ciotycentre of Schladming you take the c ablercar to the top of the mountain. And what a world that opens for you. Absolutely stunning. But do punt on some practical shoes.
A great attraction to visit when in this beautiful part of the alps,the cable car ride was stunning on the ways up.we got up for free by our accomodation issuing us a guest card and some attractions are free.its called the Sommercard .enjoy!
Classic cable car experience (using the amazing value Sommerkarte). Amazing views. At the top there are excellent facilities and many well signposted walks with splendid views. The easy Panoramaweg takes about an hour and is well worth it.
The Schladming region in Styria, Austria, seems to me one of the best skiing areas I am aware of: excellent infrastructure from ski lifts in perfect conditions, slopes manicured, facilities, service attitude of staff. And if one is tired of skiing there is so much else to do, from shopping to karting, to hiking, heated swimming pools.... This holds true when we visited these places: Schladming - Planai - Hauser Kaibling. A huge continuous ski arena. Not on the cheap side, but definitely worth every Euro. To be recommended without hesitation.
The longest gondola ride I've been on, with lots of paths to descend on foot, mountain bike or go-cart.
Great mountain for intermediate. Not many blue runs for beginners as this is what I was mainly looking for to help my daughter improve her boarding skills. Still there was some brilliant red runs and many different runs to choose from.
Beautiful view of the village and Alps. Was cloudy in the Alps this trip but still a great experience. A must do for visitors during the summer months.
