  Great resort, lots of choice and great apres-ski. Went in early April and ski conditions were great above middle station and snow making below. Stayed at the Posthotel which was superb. The only downside is that it is an expensive area (probably due to it being a world cup resort).

  We are about to return for our 5th visit. Poor snow last year in January but still good skiing above middle station. Reports look great for this next week. Keep the secret!

  Will be returning to Schladming for the third time in January having been there the last two seasons. Have skied France, Switzerland, Canada and many other places in Austria but this place takes some beating. Friendly locals, good food, great ski area with 4 interlinked mountains and a glacier. There was still plenty of skiing, even last year, when the snow in Europe wasn't so good. A variety of hotels and a few more bars in the town have meant that the apres-ski has improved. On the mountain there are plenty of huts and they serve very good food at reasonable prices. Haven't got kids so can't comment on how it rates for families but for anyone else it is a must if going to Austria. Then again, go somewhere else and it will keep the lift queues down and the slopes uncrowded for the wife and I!

  I've been skiing since I was 3 and skiing in Schladming since I was 6. I am now 19 and have skied Canada, France and Italy and nothing comes close to Schladming! I love the mountains, pistes, village and all the people. It's like my second home and I can't wait to return in February. The skiing is always fantastic and I hope to, one day, live there teaching skiing!

  Fantastic ski area, well looked after pistes, huge variety of runs through trees, open mountain tops and glacial. So many small villages as well as the town to stay in and so much more than alpine skiing. Great local brewery too! visited a large variety of european resorts for 12 years before arriving here. Made sure I've been back each year for the last 15 and will carry on for many many more. Try it and you'll never look back

  I have an appartment in Aich, just down the valley from Schladming.

  The skiing there has tempted us to return for nearly 20 years and propbably will for 20 more. The pistes are quiet, beautiful and plentiful. The locals are very friendly and the scenery amasing. It really is Ski Paradise.

  FANTASTIC! Great intermediate skiing, moguls were fun over towards Planai, big ski area that is fab as you can ski the whole valley when conditions are right. Stayed in Haus at Pension Ennstal and was brilliant great local pubs with skittle alleys and a brill local ice cream parlour. Went with Oakhall which was the best - great prices and great instruction.

  Went to Schladming in feb 2003 and feb 2004. Overall a good friendly resort with excellent doorstep skiing in Rohmoos. The ski show is a must along with the swimming pool that boasts a whirlpool and a slide. The accomodation in the Gastoff Wiesenhiem was friendly and comfortable with a pizza service and doorstep skiing. The instructors are all friendly a advance quickly and comfortably

  I have been snowbording with my son checking out a variety of areas in Austria, France,Italy, US and Canada.
  Schladming as a total experience is definately the top of our chart - something for everyone the saying goes. We have kept being magnetised back there for the 17 years! If you happen to go there look out for the oldest snowboarder I know....going on 58 but dont be fooled. If this area is good enough for Arnie we will all be back.

  Did Schladming in Feb 2003. Good intermediate resort. Good food on slopes. Hotels - get what you pay for really. Not just a tourist town. Apres ski was gentle.
