Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Schladming

14 stays · 9 aparthotels and 5 serviced apartments

Schladming is a small town in the Enns valley in Styria, and it is built around the mountains rising directly behind it. Aparthotels and serviced apartments suit it well because a stay here is usually about gear, groups and long days outdoors: a kitchen and a place to dry boots matter more than a lobby, and families or friends can share one apartment rather than book several rooms. For how the format differs from a standard hotel, see our guide to what an aparthotel is.

Where to stay in Schladming

Schladming town centre

  • first-time visitors
  • ski holidays
  • restaurants

The inner old town is small and can easily be covered on foot, which makes it the simplest base if you want shops, cafés and restaurants outside the door. The lift station for Planai is close to the centre. The railway station is also in town, so arrivals by train need no onward transfer.

Planai valley station

  • skiers
  • families
  • events

Staying beside the Planai lift puts you at the start of the main ski mountain, described as an intermediate to expert mountain with red, black and blue slopes and reached by a ten-seater cable car. Planai has been a regular Alpine Ski World Cup venue since 1973, and the race has been called the Nightrace since 1997 because it takes place at night.

  • quiet stays

Rohrmoos neighbours Schladming and forms part of the same town municipality, with skiing on Hochwurzen and Planai a main winter attraction. Behind it the Untertal valley runs up towards the Riesach waterfalls, described as the highest waterfalls in Styria, with alpine lakes such as the Riesachsee within hiking range.

Ramsau am Dachstein

  • cross-country skiing
  • glacier trips
  • quiet stays

Ramsau sits on a plateau at about 1,100 m, around 400 m higher than the towns in the Enns valley, between the Dachstein range and the valley floor. It developed as a major centre for cross-country skiing and hosts the base station of the cable car up to the Dachstein glacier, a year-round resort for alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and snowboarding.

Haus im Ennstal

  • skiers
  • families
  • groups

Haus is a village in the Liezen district at the foot of the Hauser Kaibling, one of the four mountains of the 4-mountain ski area linked to Schladming. It has hosted World Cup alpine races several times. It suits groups who want the ski area but prefer a village feel to the busier town.

Getting around Schladming

Most visitors arrive by train. ÖBB trains call at Schladming station on the Ennstalbahn, and a travel guide lists journey times of about 1 hour 30 minutes from Salzburg, 2 hours 40 minutes from Graz, 3 hours from Innsbruck and 4 hours 10 minutes from Vienna. The nearest major international airport is Munich, around 260 km away; Vienna is about 300 km, and Salzburg Airport is also within reach by road in about an hour.

Inside the resort, the old town is small and easy to walk. Lifts connect the different ski mountains, and the resort's own pages list a hiking bus for the valley and trailheads. The resort website lists a Schladming-Dachstein Card, so ask your host or the tourist office what it covers in the month you travel.

Living in Schladming for longer

A stay of a week or more is the natural rhythm here, and apartment-style accommodation is a practical way to organise it. A kitchen lets you cook around ski days, and regional specialities are worth trying on the evenings you eat out; a travel guide singles out Graukäse, a local cheese also called Steirerkas, as one to look for. If you are planning something longer, our relocation guide covers how serviced apartments work for extended stays.

Choose your base around how you will spend the days. In winter, being near the Planai valley station keeps the morning routine short. In summer, a village such as Rohrmoos or a plateau base such as Ramsau gives quicker access to walking. The resort lists mountain lakes and gorges, Bikepark Schladming and the Reiteralm trails among its summer experiences, so check which of them you want before you pick an area.

When to visit Schladming

Winter is the main season. The 4-mountain ski area links Planai, Hochwurzen, Hauser Kaibling and Reiteralm, and a travel guide gives the linked slope total as 123 km. The resort's own events pages show season-opening events in December, and Wikipedia notes that Planai has hosted Alpine Ski World Cup races since 1973, called the Nightrace since 1997 because it runs at night.

Summer suits walkers, cyclists and families. Wikipedia lists downhill toboggan runs, an outdoor swimming complex, climbing and hiking among the summer activities, and the resort promotes biking, mountain lakes and gorges. The Dachstein glacier cable car has its base station in Ramsau, so a day on the glacier fits easily into a summer stay.

The town sits at an elevation of 745 m in the Liezen district of north-western Styria. Winter is the headline season, with the Planai and Hochwurzen slopes on the doorstep, but the resort promotes hiking, biking and family holidays in summer too. For other resorts in the same country, browse the Austria hub or compare Ramsau am Dachstein, which lies on the plateau above the valley.
