With activities designed to keep you on your feet, holidays to Schladming are a chance to explore the lush Enns Valley and its surrounding peaks.
Gingerbread town
Arranged around a traditional main square, this 700-year old Tyrolean town in central Austria's packed with bars, restaurants, cafés and shops. There's also a leisure centre here with fun activities for the kids, and in the evening you can jive to the tunes of brass bands.
The green heart of Austria
Snuggled by mountains around a valley, Schladming's steep slopes are popular with winter skiers and summer riders alike. Cycle your way down the hillside trails, stroll through the town's streets or visit the well-stocked Planai Welten Museum to properly get a feel for the place.

Watersports are all the rage here, so tackle the fast-flowing Enns River by white-water raft or brave its cool depths with a swim. When winter months coat the slopes with fluffy snow, zip around the kilometres of world-class ski runs. If you're not a heights person, there are plenty of less severe slopes, too.
