We had a smooth drive through the center of Austria to arrive at Schladming. It has a name that does sound odd, but the village, the natural setting, and the surrounding area make this place a very unique and the wonderful destination indeed. Everywhere you look amazing mountains frame your view from all sides of the valley. The culture and pace are laid back and less cynical than Vienna. The town reminders one much of summer time in an authentic and genuine Colorado ski resort town, one not sold out to tourism and big name hotels/resorts. The activities are vast and unique. Both calmness and adventure seem to be available in good measure. It is a place one can easily fit in...
This is the amazing and hidden side of Austria that would erode if many more people dont knew about and came here. The remoteness keeps this town the gem that it is.
Many adventures to come this week in the Schladming area.
