Summer in Styria
A summer holiday in Schladming-Dachstein can be peaceful, sporty, enjoyable or full of adventure. The region in Styria combines green valleys, clear mountain lakes, scenic peaks and family-friendly excursion destinations into a varied holiday experience.
Around Schladming, Haus-Aich, Ramsau am Dachstein and Gröbminger Land you will find ideal conditions for active days in the mountains. Whether you want to go hiking at a relaxed pace, gain altitude on your bike, discover new things with children or simply enjoy the view of the Dachstein massif: the region offers many ways to shape your summer day.
The summer lifts make access to the mountain world especially pleasant. They take you up quickly and comfortably. This leaves more time for panoramic loops, themed trails, bike paths, playgrounds, stopping for refreshments and views that will stay with you for a long time.
Hiking in Schladming-Dachstein
Hiking is one of the most beautiful ways to experience the Schladming-Dachstein region. Around 1,500 kilometres of hiking trails lead through high valleys, to mountain lakes, along spring and water trails and up to scenic peaks.
The summer lifts make it easier to start many tours. This means you can begin at higher altitudes and save your energy for what matters most: the trail, the view and your time in the mountains.
From relaxed panoramic loops to multi-day long-distance hiking routes, Schladming-Dachstein offers suitable trails for different needs. Families choose short themed trails and child-friendly circular routes. Experienced mountain lovers head higher up towards summits, via ferratas and alpine landscapes.
Cycling and mountain biking
Schladming-Dachstein is just as diverse on two wheels. The region offers 26 mountain bike routes and a wide range of options for e-bike tours, sporty climbs and scenic rides.
A special meeting point for bike fans is the Bikepark Schladming on the Planai. There you can expect flow trails, sporty descents and real mountain bike experiences. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, the region also has e-bike routes with lovely places to stop and scenic views.
Thanks to the combination of mountain lifts, bike offers and nature experiences, planning a biking day is especially flexible.
Family holiday in the mountains
Schladming-Dachstein is especially varied for families in summer. Many mountain lifts take you directly to playgrounds, themed trails, animal experiences and family-friendly attractions.
On the Planai, Hopsiland invites you to spend an active day with children. On Hauser Kaibling, highlights include a petting zoo, children's adventure trail, Schafsinn pond and barefoot trail. On Hochwurzen, rest areas, views and Mountain-GoKarts bring variety. On Rittisberg, the Rittis Coaster adds extra excitement to the holiday day.
Small and big adventures are included too: summer tobogganing, rafting, canyoning, paragliding or the Zipline Stoderzinken provide special family moments depending on age and experience. Anyone who likes climbing will also find numerous via ferratas in the region with different levels of difficulty. This means every holiday day can be tailored to the family: relaxed, playful or full of action.
