Planai Ski Area & Gondola

The Planai is the heart of Schladming's 4-mountain ski area, renowned for its perfectly groomed slopes and modern lift infrastructure. It hosts the annual Nightrace, a World Cup slalom event. The Planai Gondola (Planet Planai Valley Station) offers direct access to the main ski area and hiking trails. It has a high capacity, taking thousands of skiers and hikers up the mountain every hour. Slopes range from blue (easy) to red (intermediate) and black (difficult), including the challenging World Cup slope. A popular snowpark for freestylers is also located here. Operating hours typically 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM in winter, and similar hours in summer for hikers. Lift passes vary greatly by duration and season, with a day pass often costing around 60-70 EUR.
