Schladming is a small town in the Austrian Alps which is now a very popular destination for winter sports. The best places to stay in Schladming are situated close to the lifts, for making the most of this alpine playground.
Originally a mining town in Styria, Schladming is situated in the heart of the Enns Valley and boasts panoramic views of the Dachstein mountains.
Skiing and wintersports are what most of us know the town for, and Planai is the large peak accessed directly from the village. From there another three mountains all link together to provide around 123 kilometres of piste with the majority of the slopes being geared towards intermediate skiers, although there are plenty of nursery and blue runs for beginners.
The resort is one of the best in Europe for snow boarders of all levels too - there's two board parks, two half-pipes and a boardcross trail.
Schladming has held World Cup events since 1973, most recently being the venue for the 2013 World Championships, and is a regular host on the annual circuit.
Aside from skiing, this is a beautiful place to be. During the summertime the village is filled with climbing, walking and biking enthusiasts. There is an impressive outdoor swimming complex and a gymnasium. Kayaking on the Enns river is also a summer favourite.
The town itself is more than just a holiday resort. There's a very pretty car-free centre where you'll find a host of historic buildings plus many good bars and restaurants.
Don't forget that if you're planning a visit and want to reserve one of the best places to stay in Schladming, you'll need to book well ahead. This is a very popular destination, not just during the winter months!
