With the new SummerCard, your summer vacation is now twice rewarding - you will get to enjoy the vast majority of our region's recreational opportunities for free.

The 8 winter sports centres of the Schladming-Dachstein Region captivate visitors with the breadth of opportunities, heartfelt Styrian hospitality and an authentic charisma all their own.
PLANAI & HOCHWURZEN
The centre of the Schladming 4-Mountain Skiing


PLANAI

Professional skiers are truly in their element at the top the Planai.
The 4.6 km long FIS descent from the summit of the Planai into the valley, where it ends, is a crowning moment at the renowned Planai target slope. Recreational skiers will also have a great time on the broad pistes, a lot of fun on the permanent racing course as well as on the “quick shot slopes”. In between skiing, the innkeepers will provide you with your much-needed refreshments.

Skiers, snowboarders, tobogganers, and winter walkers all start from the Hochwurzen – dayor night!
Broad, long descents make a skier’s heart miss a beat. Beginners and families will be delighted with the children's facilities and easy pistes.
The fun continues on the Hochwurzen in the evening with night tobogganing (7 km toboggan run), night skiing (3 km of floodlights) and, of course, the famous après ski!

Austrian control operation
The Planai Bahnen is regarded as an Austrian master operation in the cable car industry. Numerous innovations emanated from Planai Bahnen, which later spread throughout Austria. The pioneering spirit was especially evident in the development of artificial snow making facilities (the first trials began as early as 1978), the greening of the ski pistes (creation of own alpine seed mix during long term trials), development of modern ascent facilities, development of a chat room at a height of 1900 m, as well as the successful introduction of a “Ski-EKG” – a first in Austria’s ski regions!

The new cable car facilities at “Golden Jet" and ”Sun Jet" also provide quicker access from the valley to the top stations. With its special architectural design, the "Golden Jet" valley station building takes on the form of a skier’s carving swing.
