Facilities in Schladming

Schladming offers visitors a mixed package of leisure facilities when not skiing or 'boarding . A new swimming complex opened for the millennium. The facility includes a slide fountain and wave machine as well as an all year round heated outdoor pool. The impressive indoor sports centre at the Sport Royer hotel includes a large pool, bowling alley, table tennis, indoor tennis, squash, shooting range, sauna, solarium, massage and a beauty parlour. There's also a fitness center. On the snow the 8km (five mile) toboggan run down from the top of the Hochwurzen gondola is wonderful fun and is open in the evenings for night toboganning and night skiing, snow shoeing rather more exhausting. Sleigh rides are probably the most leisurely, invariably combined with a restaurant visit. Cleared winter walking trails are marked for 30km/19 miles and there's also a parascending school. Day trip excursions to Salzburg are popular.
