Winter sports
The white giants stand guard when you step out the door on your skis in the morning. We recommend it: Off to the gondola and into the fun. Because the winter sun, which makes everything glisten and shine, retreats early in the evening.
With 230 kilometres of pistes, the Schladming-Dachstein region is a real skiing paradise. You can ski down on your own, but the state-of-the-art lifts will take you up in comfort.

Our in-house ski bus takes you from the hotel village to the valley station of the Reiteralm and back again in no time. The bus service runs several times a day, so you can ski without wasting time - the next bus always arrives soon.
Picturesque panoramas pass you by to the left and right as you make your tracks through the snow. You set the pace, the weather gods send the sunshine. If you don't have your own skis with you, there are plenty of hire options in the surrounding area.

It doesn't always have to be skiing. Winter in the Dachstein region is full of adventures. Snowshoeing, tobogganing, ice skating or wrapped up in a warm blanket on a horse-drawn carriage, you can discover a new side to winter.
More experiencesSchladming is known for its events. From the legendary night race on the Planai to ski openings with top stars - there's always something going on here. Night owls turn night into day with après-ski or head to the sophisticated hotel bar at the Pichlmayrgut.
Hiking
By the time the morning sun glides down from the peaks into the valley, hardly anyone can keep their feet still. The mountain is calling. It calls you to hike, climb, marvel and stop for a bite to eat.
Against this backdrop, hiking is everyone's delight: fragrant forests, lush green meadows, chalky grey walls and countless peaks. You will be amazed by each of the countless hiking trails. Host Christian Steiner will be happy to accompany you personally and enhance the tour with interesting facts and stories.
Info on hikes
The last few metres to the highest peaks are steep and challenging. The feeling at the top at the summit cross is all the more moving. Climbing enthusiasts will truly find an Eldorado in the Schladming-Dachstein region. But beginners, children and young people can also climb well here.
To the via ferrata
If you go out, sooner or later you will want to stop for a bite to eat. Many mountain huts welcome hikers and mountaineers with hospitality and culinary specialities.
Panorama with depth.
Countless firn and clear lakes rest in the rugged mountains of the region. Their colour spectrum ranges from dark olive green to South Sea turquoise. On windless days, they reflect the surrounding mountains to the observer. The encounter with the water is certainly one of the highlights of every hike.
Sports activities
The region's rugged and rugged terrain is perfect for sporting activities. Enjoy nature at speed or even from a bird's eye view.
Be as free as a bird for once. Flying with a paraglider comes very close to mankind's age-old dream of flying. Ambitious pilots fly from the snow-covered Dachstein into the valley.
Fresh hoofprints in the ground are a constant reminder of how popular Ramsau is with riding enthusiasts. Whether on horseback, a pony or a donkey - the beauty of the surrounding nature can be savoured on the back of these animals.
The pulse of cyclists and mountain bikers will beat faster in the region. And that even before the first pedal stroke. Tours for mountain bikes and e-bikes, a wide variety of trails, children's attractions in the bike park and much more guarantee that no wish is left unfulfilled.
To the cycle path
The Dachstein Tauern Golf & Country Club is a generously laid out 18-hole course nestled in an idyllic natural setting. On the driving range near the clubhouse, you can enjoy a short practice session whatever the weather. The Hotel Pichlmayrgut has a co-operation with the golf clubs GCC Dachstein-Tauern & GCC Schloss Pichlarn. Guests receive a 20% discount on the daily green fees.
Golfing under the Dachstein
Excellent water quality, a spacious sunbathing lawn with tree-shaded areas and a children's area with bouncy castle make the Pichler bathing lake a hotspot for sun worshippers. In summer and winter alike, the Dachsteinbad welcomes swimmers to the centre for well-being and health, which opened in 2019.
Sometimes the weather doesn't play along the way you'd like it to. We won't leave you out in the rain. Why not visit one of the many museums in the region, such as the Winter Sports Museum or the Schladming Town Museum. Sample fine spirits in the Mandlberg mountain pine distillery or go underground in the Obertal tunnels. See and marvel at what you can still experience here.

The summit of enthusiasm measures 2,700 metres above sea level. Up here, you can enjoy the impressive panorama from various viewing plateaus and marvel at sculptures in the Ice Palace. The Sky Walk and the Stairway to Nothingness make the glacier the perfect experience for the whole family.

Hungry families can fortify themselves in one of the huts after the fun and games.
To Hopsiland

The Middle Ages are long gone? But where! If you want, you can travel back in time to the world of knights, damsels, battlements and cold dungeons. At the Hohenwerfen and Mauterndorf adventure castles, you can spend a day in the time of our primeval ancestors in true style.
Even children know: Valuable treasures are recovered in a mine. The Salzkammergut also glitters and sparkles underground. Salt is still mined here today. However, the salt mines in Hallein, Hallstatt and Altaussee are only for visitors. Those who venture into the tunnels can experience fascinating things such as an old salt lake, a chapel in the mountain and much more.

Wild waters thunder and roar down into the valley. A wild and romantic natural spectacle that you can watch from the safety of the footbridges. The Wörschachklamm and Talbachklamm gorges are particularly impressive examples of this rushing spectacle.
