Apres

Schladming is not famed for its après-ski but there are plenty of options for every kind of evening entertainment. If you are not looking to dance on the table tops through the night in your ski gear, the pedestrianised village centre has a great atmosphere and loads of cosy spots for a mulled wine and a slice of cake.

On the mountain
In true Austrian fashion, après in Schladming starts on the mountain and loud music attracts party goers to Onkel Willy’s Hutte. This restaurant and bar’s huge outdoor terrace offers panoramic views of the Schladming-Dachstein region.

In Resort
Opposite the Planai Gondola sits the Planaistubn’n, otherwise known as Charly’s Treff which attracts visitors in the early afternoon. This pub is quirky and decorated with photographs of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was born not far away in Graz.

The Hoenhaus Tenne is the biggest spot and is hugely popular with tourists. Because of the lack of British tourists in comparison to slope-side, dance bars in other resorts, and its rustic wooden interior, the Tenne maintains authenticity and gives a real taste of Austrian après-ski.

Later on, you can move on to the likes of La Porta which is close to the old town gateway or the Hanglbar which has an amazing hand-carved 10-pin bowling alley in the basement. The Siglu and Beisl are also popular and stay open late. Younger skiers and snowboarders flock to Maria's Mexican but the village hosts more sophisticated venues such as the Beisl.

Drinking in Schladming is also relatively cheap and the Siglu bar hosts a daily Jagermeister competition and buy 1 get 1 free drinks on Wednesday nights.

If you are looking to dance into the early hours there are a couple of clubs such as the Sonderbar, beneath the Hotel Rössl, which houses three bars.


Eating out

Schladming has a lot of good mountain restaurants as well as a wide selection in the village. There is something for everyone from gourmet dining at the Hotel Post to pizzas at Giovanni’s.

On the mountain
Particularly good are the Seiterhuette and Hochalm on Reiteralm which are both locally run and reasonably priced.

The Royer Grill, in the sport-hotel Royer, is a great place for an evening out in the village. The head chef leads his experienced team to create a unique combination of Styrian cuisine with influences from around the world.

For a taste of traditional Austrian grill cuisine, head to the Talbachschenke, rustically set in a converted wine cellar. Specialties include the Talbachschenke steak which is a grilled pork chop filled with ham and cheese and served with herb butter and french fries; however, you can also grill your own fillets on a hot flagstone.



Activities

Other than alpine skiing and snowboarding, Schladming offers a wide variety of activities, such as snowshoeing, tobogganing, ice stock sport, ski-touring and cross-country skiing. The village has a few interesting shops and a museum and trips to Salzberg are easily feasible; just ask at the tourist office. Hochwurzen has a floodlit 7km toboggan run which serves as a great evening activity for groups or families. Both Schladming and Ramsau have swimming pools, saunas, steam baths and childrens’ playgrounds. There is also a cinema and an ice rink in Schladming.
Cross country skiing is very popular in the Schladming-Dachstein ski area and hosts almost 500km of tracks. Nearby Ramsau is known as the mecca of cross-country skiing and recently held the World championships.
Another fantastic way of taking in the untouched nature off the piste, is on a show shoe hike. There are plenty of guided tours available at the ski schools.
If you can stomach is, it’s definitely worth travelling up to the Dachstein Glacier and Ice Palace. Enjoy unparalleled panoramic views from the glass cable car that goes to Dachstein’s top station at a staggering 2700m. From here you can do the Sky Walk along the 100m long suspension bridge which connects you to the Ice Palace. Children go free and an adult ticket is 3€.

Kids will enjoy snowshoeing, tobogganing, ice skating, playing in the park and toboganning; on the Hochwurzen there is a floodlit 7km toboggan run which is a particularly magical experience in the evening.

Rohrmoos, just ten minutes from the centre of Schladming is the best place to take children to learn to ski. Lower in altitude, its nursery slopes are extensive and gentle, ideal for building up confidence. There are also kindergartens on Planai, Reiteralm and Fageralm.

Children will love the magic atmosphere of tobogganing in the evening. Hochwurzen has a 7km run that is floodlit in the evenings. Toboggans can be rented at the local ski shops.
