It is also popular for winter sports, with numerous good ski runs in the surrounding hills.

Much of the town dates from the period when it was a mining community, as witness the old miners' houses. The 17th C. Salzburger Tor (Salzburg Gate) is a relic of the old fortifications. The Late Gothic parish church (R.C.) dates from the 16th C. but retains a Late Romanesque tower; the Protestant church (1862), the largest Protestant church in Styria, has a winged altar of the Reformation period. A memorial stone in the Unterer Stadtplatz commemorates the burning of the rebellious town during the Peasant War of 1525. The Municipal Museum is also worth a visit. As well as being historically and culturally interesting Schladming has quaint little streets down which you can take a leisurely stroll, visit the restaurants and inns and savor genuine Styrian hospitality. Concerts are held during the "Schladminger Musiksommer".
