Nightrace in Schladming – Experience a Skiing Spectacular!

Nightrace in Schladming; Enjoy the Sporting Thrills!

Here we go: With a slope gradient of 52% and an elevation difference of 214 meters, the finish slope on the Planai is most definitely not for the faint-hearted. This piste has clearly earned its nickname, "the witch's cauldron.” Add the magical atmosphere of the winter landscape at night, and it’s no wonder that the Nightrace in Schladming has evolved into such an epic event.

A colorful program of side events complements the World Cup slalom perfectly. From galas to parties, there's something for everyone. About a day before the legendary Nightrace gets underway, the international men's night giant slalom is also held at Planai Stadium.

Other Event Highlights

Other event highlights on the Planai include the ISMF World Cup in ski mountaineering, the 3-day Planai Classics rally, and Austria's biggest ski-opening festival, with world-famous stars such as Robbie Williams, Die Toten Hosen, and Timmy Trumpet rocking the stage.Ideal, Nearby, Relaxing: ALPS RESORTS Accommodations for the Schladming Nightrace
