Schladming

Schladming is a resort steeped in ski racing history – it hosts the famous night slalom each winter – but with a pretty medieval town and four mountains of skiing to choose from, there is much more to this resort than just a ski race.

The four mountains provide a 123km network of well-prepared, linked pistes, served by a modern and fast fleet of lifts.

Most of the terrain is suited to intermediates, but there are some challenges for more advanced skiers and riders, as well as some decent beginner facilities – particularly at Rohrmoos.

Schladming itself has an attractive, car-free town centre and it certainly can get lively, especially at the end of the ski day.

Pros and cons

Four different, linked mountains to explore
Lively resort, especially as the lifts close
Very quick and easy transfer from Salzburg

Low altitude so snow quality can suffer
Limited challenges for experts
Some sectors can get busy and queues can be an issue

On the Slopes

Most pistes are on the wooded north-facing slopes above the main valley, with some going into the side valleys higher up. Above the treeline there are some short open slopes, but these are few and far between. Almost all are linked by fast lifts, most of which have bubbles and many are also equipped with seat heating.

Beginners should head to the gentle slopes of Rohrmoos, but there is also a good Kinderland on the Planai. Most of the rest of the ski area is primed for intermediates and keen piste skiers, with the mountains criss-crossed by a network of reds and blues. Advanced and expert skiers will struggle to find much for them unless there has been good snowfall – this is when the tree runs come into their own.

In the Resort

Most of Schladming’s buildings are traditional and at the village’s heart there’s a pleasant, traffic-free main square. It is around here that the majority of the bars, restaurants and hotels are located. Families may consider basing themselves by Rohrmoos to be near to the best beginner slopes.
Schladming is a lively resort and never more so than during the night slalom race each January, when tens of thousands of ski racing fans descend on the resort. Even without the racers in town however, the resort is very lively and in the form of the Hohenhaus Tenne, it is home to the largest après ski lodge in the Alps.

Getting to Schladming

A transfer will only take an hour from Salzburg, making this one of the best resorts for a weekend break. You can also take the train direct to Schladming – this takes around an hour and a half. Innsbruck and Munich are around three hours away.

Salzburg airport: 1 hour (driving) or 1.5 hours (public transport)
Munich airport: 3 hours (driving)
Innsbruck airport: 3 hours (driving)
Calais: approximately 13 hours driving (735 miles)

Season Dates

Opens: in stages from Friday 6 December 2024
Closes: in stages from 30 March 2025, fully closed on 30 April 2025

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 20/12

The timeline for Christmas week snow is accelerated massively as a huge, dense area of low pressure gets swept in on the Jetstream to cover much of central and northern Europe as the weekend continues. Temperatures will remain cold through this weekend, with a freezing line dropping to 500m on Sunday and, as a result temperatures of -10°C being the norm at 2,000m.

In the west of the region, things will turn slightly bonkers. Sunday snowfall falls as half-a-metre in most places and, instead of drying up as the new week begins, it will continue to fall across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Christmas day), too. A further 45cm can be expected down on Monday and another 30cm on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Resorts further east and south may struggle to see this same snowfall, especially on Sunday and into Monday, as it struggles to make the leap over the Main Alpine Ridge. Christmas Eve snowfall, however, will remain excellent across the board, with 40cm expected in these areas.

Expect the avalanche risk to tick up to High or Very High (4 or 5) over the coming days as a result. Unfortunately avalanche.report doesn’t forecast in advance like the French do, so it is difficult to ascertain with any certainty what it might do – however current risk are being reported as persistent weak layers, which can cause ongoing difficulties with avalanche risk associated with new snow. Please check your local forecasts carefully using the links below and plan any backcountry and off piste travel carefully in the coming days.
