Schladming

Four linked mountains provide the main ski area with 125km of mainly treelined sheltered pistes. The area offers some really diverse skiing from pretty tree lined runs to the Men's FIS night skiing slalom run. An intermediates paradise, it has less for the expert but again is superb for beginners. The lift system is fast and efficient as is the free bus service that operates between the villages and the lift stations. As the slopes virtually all face north Schaldming holds its snow very well. 

Rustic Alpine charm exudes and mixed with the excellent apres ski makes this a most animated village throughout the day and night. Quality Austrian hotels sit side by side with less expension 2 star pensions so you won't have to break the bank to stay here.
