Summer Holidays in the Schladming mountains

Hiking, mountaineering and summer lifts in Schladming

1000 km of marked hiking paths and more than 50 mountain huts. 45 km of running and Nordic-walking trails. Sound pretty big? It is! In our opinion, the only thing that tops this offer is the amazing scenery. For example, when the south face of the Dachstein is reflected in the aptly named Mirror Lake, with pink rhododendron in full bloom before it … When you sit on the summit of the Stoderzinken (elev. 2048 m) and humbly enjoy the sunset. Or quite simply, when you take a break and dangle your feet in the babbling waters of an icy-cold mountain stream.  

If you prefer to overcome the initial climb without investing any effort, we suggest taking advantage of the summer lifts. Aboard the Hochwurzen summit lift, even the ride up is a memorable experience in its own right: From the glass gondolas, you can enjoy the view of the mighty Dachstein massif. On the Planai, in contrast, you will be greeted by the highest playground in Styria. While the Reiteralm Preunegg Jet will carry you up to a true hiking paradise: From here, you can make a beeline to Mirror Lake and the Untersee, while the “Silent Waters” theme path captivates with countless play opportunities in and around the water as well as oases of complete tranquility. If you are in the mood for a little more action, you might wish to tackle the mountain bike trails, the Reiteralm Junior Trails (also suitable for children on push bikes!) or the Franzi via ferrata (a fixed-cable climb rated C/D). The mountain lifts are included with the Schladming Dachstein Card.

Adventure Holidays in Styria: via ferratas, rock climbing

A drive taking roughly 30 minutes will bring you from your chalet or apartment to Ramsau. A true Eldorado for climbers and via ferrata enthusiasts. 22 of the 26 fixed-cable climbs total in the Schladming-Dachstein Region are located in Ramsau. 4 climbs designed especially for young children and teens as well as Kali’s Via Ferrata Garden are ideal for youngsters excited to learn the climbing basics. The oldest via ferrata in the Eastern Alps leads to the top of the Dachstein – known as the “Randkluft”. If you would like to enjoy a first taste of adventure sports, we suggest contacting one of our local mountain guides.  

Holidays on 2 wheels: mountain biking and cycling

Schladming-Dachstein also has a lot to offer those of you who love leaning into your pedals. With opportunities for “Sunday cyclists”, E-bikers as well as mountain bikers. For MTBers in particular, we highly recommend spending a timeout at Alpenchalets Reiteralm: As of quite recently, new trails have been created practically right outside the front door of our Alpenchalets Reiteralm. With 15 kilometers and 2 levels of difficulty. On the Planai, you will discover Bikepark 2.0 with 35 km of trails, a flowline for all abilities and the Jump Line with 99 (!) separate jumps.

Golfing in Schladming-Dachstein

Four 18-hole golf courses are located between the Dachstein and Schladminger Tauern. Golfclub Radstadt, Golfclub Schladming-Dachstein, Golf & Countryclub Schloss Pichlarn and Golf & Landclub Ennstral-Weissenbach all promise golfing experiences at the highest level – amid a magnificent natural setting.  

Schladming-Dachstein Sommercard included

When you check into your ALPS resort, you will also receive the Schladming Dachstein Card – for admission to 100 all-inclusive attractions. These include mountain lifts, swimming areas and lakes, buses and toll roads, museums, sports and recreational facilities as well as numerous sightseeing attractions in the region. The Schladming-Dachstein Sommercard is valid for the duration of your stay including arrival and departure days (after 1 PM on arrival day, all day on departure day).

Winter holidays in Schladming

Skiing in Ski Amadé

It has been a long time since the Schladming ski area was just a secret insider tip. By the time the FIS Ski World Championships came around in 2012, the holiday region surrounding Schladming was already on the tip of everybody’s tongue. That said, the annual FIS Nightslalom for men, the legendary ski opening every year in December and, of course, the perfectly groomed pistes of the Schladming 4-Mountain Ski Area make the region surrounding your holiday apartment or chalet one of the most popular winter sports destinations in Austria. Though you can also look forward to pure winter enjoyment away from the pistes as well: for example, gliding along the ski trails of Ramsau am Dachstein, a true cross-country El Dorado, sledding down the hillsides or participating in après ski at one of 100 traditional ski huts.

Skiing holidays right next to the piste

Regardless of whether you spend your holidays at our Bergresort Hauser Kaibling, in an apartment at Alpenrock Schladming or at Alpenchalets Reiteralm: Pure skiing enjoyment awaits you right outside your front door, since your ALPS resort lies right next to the ski slopes. The Schladming ski region is part of Ski amadé and has a total of 230 piste kilometers along with 84 ultra-modern lifts in store for skiing holidaymakers. The heart of the ski region is the Schladming 4-Mountain Ski Area. It brings together the ski resorts of the Hauser Kaibling, Planai, Hochwurzen and Reiteralm for skiing enjoyment from one mountain to the next. The neighboring ski areas of the Fageralm, Ramsau am Dachstein Ski Region, Dachstein Glacier, Ski Galsterberg, Riesneralm and Planneralm are the icing on the cake.

In addition to the perfect pistes and unique panoramas of the Schladming mountains, the Schladming-Dachstein Region also adds funslopes and crossparks to its full palette of winter sports. One of our top tips, for example, is the XXL funslope on the Hauser Kaibling – something you simply have to experience during your winter holiday at Bergresort Hauser Kaibling! And why not clock your speed on skis on the “Cool Running” hill at the Reiteralm. We are intrigued to see how quickly you can make it back to your Alpenchalet, where you will be greeted with boundless moments of pure relaxation and well-being in the private spa?

Cross-country glacier skiing – Ramsau am Dachstein

With 220 kilometers (!) of XC trails, the cross-country paradise on the sunny Ramsau am Dachstein plateau doesn’t only welcome holidaymakers. Many of our guests who have “skated” on these perfectly maintained trails also had the honor of sharing those trails with top international athletes.

At 2700 m above sea level amid the incomparable mountain scenery of Dachstein Glacier, you will discover the world’s longest glacier cross-country trail. Though needless to say, you also have the opportunity to pursue your favorite sport in the valley as well: As a hobby XCer, you will be as happy as a clam in Schladming or Haus-Aich-Gössenberg. 194 km can be enjoyed in classic style, 100 km using “skating” technique. And if you would merely like to watch, you might well want to stop by in December for the FIS World Cup in the Nordic Combined

Winter away from the pistes: sledding, fatbiking and snowshoeing

As a winter sports paradise, Schladming has a lot more to offer than skiing and boarding. For example, the floodlit sled runs on the Reiteralm and the 7 km-long natural sled run on the Hochwurzen. Or romantic sleigh rides. And have you ever heard of “fatbiking”? Ski tourers and snowshoers also find mountains of possibilities in Schladming-Dachstein. With opportunities certain to appeal to beginners as well as ambitious mountaineers and alpinists – guaranteeing you beautiful moments during your winter holidays amid the white landscapes of Styria!
