Every day your dream (skiing) day awaits you – on the Planai & Hochwurzen

Situated at the heart of the Schladming 4-Mountain Interlinked Ski Area, amid the Ennstal mountains and with a direct view of the Dachstein Massif - on the Planai and Hochwurzen the whole family can enjoy a dream day's skiing.

Here you'll be skiing on pistes put to the test by World Championship stars back in 2013. The highlights are the 4.5-kilometre FIS run from the Planai summit into the valley, the Echo piste, which offers musical accompaniment as you wedel into the valley, and the high-speed stretch, on which personal bests can be set. On the permanent racing section downhillers follow in the tracks of some of the legends of skiing.

Funslope & Funcross

Through the tunnel, on the mogul run or through the snail – the fun slopes on the Planai and Hochwurzen guarantee off-piste fun and frolics and are suitable for all ages and ability levels. For those seeking a little more speed and a greater sporting challenge, the Funcross course features accessible freestyle elements.

New: Hopsi Children's Winter Wonderland Planai

This winter a brand new attraction awaits visitors on the Planai: The Hopsi Children's Winter Wonderland with the slogan "Hopsi's journey around the world"
Here little visitors can accompany Hopsi on a journey from Antarctica via Europe to South America.

The Children's Winter Wonderland is located in the Märchenwiese area and can be reached not only on skis but also with the new "Hopsi-Express" inclined lift. There is a pedestrian tunnel to the Hopsi-Express summit station, enabling children, families and night skiers to proceed safely from the Planai mountain station to the Hopsi Express.
The emphasis is on fun and pleasure - in the Hopsi Children's Winter Wonderland there is adequate space for little ones to make their first moves on the slopes.

Children's ski schools and family offerings

The ski school and beginners areas on both mountains offer great attractions for little guests: hill slalom skiing, a cross-ride track, a mogul run and much more besides ensure there is no time for little ones to get bored whilst they learn. The teams at the Hopl and Tritscher ski schools are always striving to ensure that little racers are safe on the slopes.

From summit happiness to treats for the taste buds

Whilst carving tracks are being left in the glittering snow, aromatic delights are being prepared in the mountain lodges and huts. From traditional kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancakes) to trout from Styrian Lake Bodensee, the lodgekeepers serve regional specialities with skiwasser (a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage) and wonderful Styrian wines.

As well as traditional culinary delights in the mountains, guests can enjoy muscial entertainment in the valley. At the Hohenhaus Tenne, Europe's largest ski hut, party animals are sure to have a whale of a time. Après ski with live acts over three levels is the perfect way of rounding off a day's skiing.
