Host to the 2013 World Cup, you know the ski facilities in Schladming are world-class. Recently upgraded, a shiny new system of chairs and gondolas whisks you around the fantastic ski area of tree-lined pistes and snow-sure, north-facing slopes. What’s more, with top-notch snowmaking, perfectly groomed trails and encouraging instructors, expect great progression and big smiles from every student.
The range of skiing in the Schladming-Dachstein area is extensive, with 77 lifts and over 167km of well-prepared piste. Schladming itself, with its 4 interconnecting mountains Planai, Hauser Kaibling, Hochwurzen and Reiteralm, has 117km of groomed pistes. This is where most of our school groups ski during their stay.
One of 29 resorts in the enormous Amadé ski alliance, the exciting town of Schladming makes a great base for your group. There’s plenty to do off the slopes, with Austrian skittles and thrilling ski shows most Sunday evenings.

Well-organised nursery zones and gentle blues create a stress free learning ground for beginners, who can master their skiing technique on beautifully groomed slopes.
Skiers who can already link their turns have the run of the mountain, with stacks of choice in the Schladming area, including winding tracks through thick forest and a long run through the Hochwurzen Valley. Advanced skiers will enjoy the challenge of Planai’s championship downhill course and its exhilarating steep final straight.
