In the course of the peasant uprisings of the early 16th century the rebellious miners\u2019 town was severely punished and burned down, yet it recovered and has preserved to this day the character of an organically grown alpine market town with old burghers\u2019 houses.<\/p>\n<p>The local mountain Planai made Schladming a centre of international winter sports in the 20th century. World Cup races are regularly held here, above all the famous floodlit night slalom, which every year draws tens of thousands of enthusiastic spectators to the steep finish slope and is considered, in its atmosphere, one of the most impressive ski races in Europe. In 1982 and again in 2013 Schladming hosted the Alpine World Ski Championships, which made the place known far beyond Styria. Above the valley rises the mighty Dachstein massif, whose glaciers and rugged limestone walls form an impressive contrast to the gentle, grass-covered Schladming Tauern on the other side of the valley. Thus Schladming lies at the seam of two quite different mountain worlds and unites a silver mining past with modern sporting history.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#221c1a;color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:28px;\"><strong style=\"font-size:1.08em;\">Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 12px;color:#d8d2cc;font-size:14px;\">To make your trip run smoothly , our guides and gear tips for this destination:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;\"><a href=\"\/en\/wanderschuhe\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hiking boots \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/schichtenprinzip-bekleidung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Layering guide for clothing \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-tages-bergwanderung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Day-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Schladming am Fu\u00df des Dachsteins ist einer der bekanntesten Skiorte der Steiermark und Teil der Skiregion Ski amad\u00e9.
