Schladming - Skiing

Skiers from all over Europe have made this one of Austria's most popular resorts. Schladming has hosted the World Championships and numerous World Cup events and the area, known as the Ski Paradise, offers 140 km of runs on seven mountains in the Dachstein-Tauern valley. Although it has something for everyone the area is famous for long and wide runs through pine forest glades. Schladming, a blend of solid stone buildings and wooden chalets, is a safe bet for a ski vacation because the nearby Dachstein glacier guarantees that snow will be available virtually year-round.
