Schladming is Styria's best-known ski town, below the Planai in the Enns valley. Graz is in the same province, but it is not the closest airport, so it is worth comparing the options before you book flights.

Salzburg is usually shorter: when Graz still makes sense

From Salzburg Airport, Schladming is 91 km and usually 67–84 minutes away. From Graz it is twice the distance and about an hour longer each way. If you can fly to either airport at similar times and prices, Salzburg is normally the easier choice.

Graz is a good option if your home airport has better connections there, if Salzburg is fully booked or expensive on your Saturday, or if you are combining your ski week with other stops in Styria. Arriving at a smaller, quieter airport can also be a relief on busy changeover weekends.

How the drive from Graz Airport to Schladming goes

  1. Around Graz

    The driver joins the motorway near the airport and heads around Graz to the Pyhrn motorway (A9) northbound.

  2. Gleinalm tunnel and upper Styria

    The A9 passes through the long Gleinalm tunnel and continues through forested valleys in upper Styria.

  3. Schober pass to Liezen

    The motorway crosses the low Schober pass and descends to the Enns valley near Liezen.

  4. Along the Enns valley

    The last part follows the Enns valley road west past Stainach, Gröbming and Haus im Ennstal to Schladming.

Travelling the longer route with children or groups

Space matters
On a drive of more than two hours, a minivan gives families room for child seats, ski bags and a bag of snacks within reach.
Groups and clubs
Larger vehicles can be requested. Give the exact number of passengers and ski bags so everything travels together.

Where in the Schladming area are you staying?

Coming from Graz, the route reaches Haus im Ennstal before Schladming, so hotels there are slightly closer. Ramsau am Dachstein lies on a plateau north of the valley, while Rohrmoos and Pichl are on the slopes above and west of town, with steeper, narrower roads. Enter your exact address to see the right price.

In late January, the Nightrace slalom on the Planai fills the town; plan extra time if you arrive around then.

Frequently asked questions

Why would I fly into Graz rather than Salzburg for Schladming?

Mainly because of flights: better connections, times or availability from your home airport. If both work equally well, Salzburg is about an hour closer.

Is the road from Graz to Schladming open in winter?

Yes. It is mostly motorway and valley road without a high pass. The vehicle runs on winter tyres, and chains are fitted if needed.

What does the transfer from Graz Airport to Schladming cost?

Usually around €330–420 for a car with 1–3 passengers and €400–500 for a minivan. The exact total is shown before booking and does not change for traffic or delays.

Can we be dropped in Ramsau am Dachstein?

Yes. Enter the address when booking. Ramsau is on a plateau above the valley, so the last part of the drive climbs.
