Schladming-Dachstein – A Top Holiday Region
Holidays in Styria in the center of Austria
Experience Schladming-Dachstein, where nature meets adventure
Nestled between the majestic south walls of the Dachstein, the peaks of the Schladminger Tauern, and the imposing Grimming massif, Schladming-Dachstein serves as the picturesque backdrop for your next vacation. This jewel of Styria unites nature, culture, and outdoor sporting activities into a unique and totally unforgettable experience – all year round!
Summer Paradise for Active Vacationers
From relaxed strolls next to idyllic mountain lakes to challenging tours of the high peaks, our region offers everything a hiker could possibly wish for. Experience a sense of total freedom on countless via ferrata climbs, or enjoy custom-tailored bike rides through breathtaking countryside. And thanks to the Schladming-Dachstein Sommercard, many attractions and offers - including lift rides and hiking buses - won't cost you even a penny!
Winter Wonderland for Snow Lovers
Boasting 230 kilometers of pistes in total, the Schladming 4-Mountain Ski Area brings together the ski resorts on the Hauser Kaibling, Planai, Hochwurzen, and Reiteralm. Meanwhile, charming smaller ski areas such as the Galsterberg and Ramsau am Dachstein are also part of Ski amadé, one of the biggest and most variety-filled winter sports regions in all of Europe. Look forward to perfect conditions for noobs or pros, or if you prefer, glide along up to 430 kilometers of cross-country ski trails, including one high-alpine trail across the Dachstein glacier itself.
Summer Vacations
In the summertime, Schladming-Dachstein greets visitors with an array of extraordinary highlights just waiting to be discovered. The biggest of those by far is the Dachstein glacier on the "Hoher Dachstein", elevation 2995 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak in the provinces of Upper Austria and Styria, and home to some astonishing attractions: In addition to the magical alpine scenery, you will get to explore the awe-inspiring suspension footbridge, the Ice Palace, the Sky Walk, and the evocatively named "Stairway to Nothingness."
Perhaps you will take an excursion to the Riesach Waterfalls or the shores of the Steirischer Bodensee, a natural jewel set in the heart of our region. The crystal-clear, picturesque mountain lakes are surrounded by some of the most impressive peaks in the Schladminger Tauern range. Kilometer upon kilometer of alpine hiking trails through the Schladminger Tauern are amongst the most magical this region has to offer. Numerous mountain huts look forward to offering guests the welcome refreshment break they richly deserve.
Our tip: With the Schladming-Dachstein Sommercard, which is automatically included in the cost of your stay at Alpenidyll Apartments, numerous exciting holiday experiences and services are included either for free or at greatly discounted prices!
