Schladming 4 Berge Ski Resort Austria
Schladming ski resort is the main prize in a collection of 4 ski lift companies interlinked across 4 mountain peaks in central Austria. Otherwise known as 4-Berge, the north-facing terrain has a solid skiable vertical of over 1250m, 46 lifts & around 127km of piste trails. Part of the greater Schladming Dachstein ski region, lift passes are valid in a host of local ski areas & Ski amadé resorts.
See the Schladming ski trail map here.
The low elevation base at 745m can be challenging in warmer winters, but snow-making, a shaded northerly aspect & loads of upper mountain terrain balance the equation. Access to the ski area is superb via rail at Schladming & Pichl and by car almost anywhere. No high mountain passes to negotiate here!
