Let yourself be surprised!
Events
Anyone on holiday in Schladming should definitely go up to the 2,996 m high Dachstein, the highest peak in Upper Austria and Styria. The glacier lift takes you up to 2,700 m. There are 2 highlights worth seeing here:
Are you bored hiking or cycling every day? Would you like to learn more about the history and nature of the region or the relationship between people and mountains during your vacation? We recommend visiting these 4 museums:
A little more than half an hour's drive away is Trautenfels Castle in the middle of imposing mountains. A visit is not only worthwhile because of the architecture and baroque furnishings of the castle, but above all because of the exhibition on the natural and cultural history of the Styrian Enns Valley. Free entry with the summer card.
It is also called the "Bruderladenhaus" among the locals. It was built in 1661 as a social facility for miners and is now the only surviving monument in Styria. Today you will be informed about the history of Schladming in these old walls. With the summer card, which you receive as our guest in the Schütterhof, you get free entry.
With an hour's drive, this museum is a little further away from Schladming. But the museum "Between Heaven and Earth - Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner and the World of the 8000s" is absolutely worthwhile for all mountaineering fans who have always wanted to know what the weather feels like on an 8,000er and what complete expedition equipment looks like.
Located on the Sölk Pass, the castle, built in the 14th century, looks back on an eventful history. Today the permanent exhibition "Natura Mirabilis" and a nature park laboratory are presented in the medieval castle rooms. This museum is worthwhile for anyone interested in natural and cultural phenomena and the history of exploring the Alps. The Jesuit garden around the castle is also worth seeing. The castle is a 30-minute drive from the Schütterhof near Stein an der Enns.
Have you tried rock whiskey or a brandy from the Mandlberggut in our panorama bar? No? Then you should treat yourself to one of these fine, high-proof drops! If you then want to learn more about the manufacturing processes and the goods, you can take a tour of the whiskey and schnapps distillery. These 30-minute tours, which take place every day, are free with the Sommercard. In addition, special tours with tasting are offered on request.
Visit the city of Mozart Salzburg. Austria's fourth largest city is just over an hour's drive from the Schütterhof. The entire center, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the Hohensalzburg Fortress and of course Mozart's birthplace are worth seeing. A visit to the city is particularly worthwhile in the festival months of July and August.
