Austria has long held a special place in the wide world of skiing. It’s where some of the sport’s most recognizable brands have cut their teeth. It’s where racing and freeskiing shake hands, with groomers, freeride, and park all meeting at the highest level. It’s been home to hundreds of legendary segments in some of the best ski films ever made. But the cameras and competitions are just the beginning. The ski scene here is an other-worldly experience in the best possible way, and like anywhere, it’s best when skied like a local. 

That’s what Katie Burrell found out during her trip across the pond last winter. In this seven-part series, Canada’s favorite leisure athlete dives into the culture and explores seven distinct areas: Paznaun-Ischgl, Arlberg, Sölden, Kitzbühel, SkiWelt, Zell am See-Kaprun, and Schladming-Dachstein.

Last but certainly not least in our series, Burrel takes us to Schladming-Dachstein. This alpine oasis offers consistently great skiing and an après scene that’s second to none. 

In Schladming-Dachstein, you’ll find four distinct ski areas boasting a blend of groomers, terrific off-piste touring access, and night skiing. Of course, once you’re off the mountain, you’ll want to head right for one of the region’s 18 award-winning restaurants… and an evening in the spa never hurt anyone. Follow Burrell as she explores everything Schladming-Dachstein has to offer.
