    summer in Schladming-Dachstein

    In summer, the region is a big hit with visitors thanks to a 1000 km network of hiking paths leading to alpine summits, mountain lakes and other scenic spots. Whether accompanied by your family or a fellow outdoor sports fan – here, you will definitely discover your personal favorite hike.

    For a speedier experience in Schladming-Dachstein, biking is definitely a great option. Thanks to Bikepark Schladming, the Reiteralm Trails and 27 different mountain bike tours, bike & trail lovers of all ages and abilities find just what they’re looking for.

    The “adventure mountains” of Schladming-Dachstein promise fun for the whole family. The Alpine slide, Flyline, forest high-ropes course, zipline, petting zoo and even a summit pool leave practically no wish unfulfilled.

    Each of the mountain lifts in Schladming-Dachstein is unique unto itself. Though there is one thing they all have in common: Holders of the Schladming-Dachstein Sommercard can use them free of charge. The Sommercard is automatically included when you spend even as little as one night at one of over 1000 partner businesses and even includes numerous bonus discounts. Your Sommercard includes the tickets for mountain lifts, travel on much of the public transportation in the region, as well as admission to museums, swimming lakes and pools, plus the cost of many toll roads. Meanwhile, the Kids Card is a real treat for the youngsters, a Sommercard just for them. This guest card includes 40 different activities intended especially for children and their families. Opportunities include carpentry for kids, pony rides, bread-baking courses and adventure hikes. With this card in their pocket, the vacation days will simply fly by.

    For added action, the professionals of our outdoor adventure businesses will be there to assist if you decide to go rafting or canyoneering or take off on a tandem paragliding flight. 30 via ferrata climbs also await you if you are looking to take your holiday to new “heights”. The focal point of our 22 fixed-cable climbs in the area is Ramsau am Dachstein, the region’s beautiful sunny plateau. At elevations between 1000 and almost 3000 m, experienced and less-experienced climbers will find the tour perfect for them.

    Experiences

    With so much variety, there’s one thing you will never encounter in Schladming-Dachstein: boredom. From the biggest zip line in the Alps on the Stoderzinken, where you will reach top speeds of as much as 115 km/h as you zoom down towards the valley, to outdoor activities such as rafting, canyoning and paragliding, to exhilarating rides on an Alpine slide or a mountain go-cart – in our region, the next adrenaline kick is never far away. Since summer 2018, the Rittisberg has also excited visitors with a brand-new aerial attraction: A mixture of forest rollercoaster and zip line gives guests the opportunity to fly almost silently through the forest.
