The FIS Alpine Ski Championships will take place in Schladming from 4th to 17th February 2013.

There has been much work and improvements already carried out on the facilities and infrustructure with more being carried out between now and the event itself. These improvements are already available for skiing this winter (2011-2012) including new lift systems, parking and access to the fantastic ski slopes.

This is the major event on the World Skiing Circuit and demand for accommodation will be high. Book early to avoid disapointment.

The Season starts with the Ramsauer Langlauf Opening from 1.-4. December 2011.

Ramsau am Dachstein''''''''s Volkslanglauf, or People''''''''s Cross Country, is a magnet for the public every year, attracting several hundred participants.

The Tour de Ramsau, the only tour for amateur cross-country skiers, was warmly received and is thus being held again in 2011, with an opening sprint race on Friday, the popular Dachstein Volkslauf over 2 x 12.5 km courses on Saturday, and a spectacular mountain race (7 km) on the Rittisberg on Sunday.

The Famous World Cup Slalom Night Race comes to Schladming on 24.01.12.

With regular shuttle buses running through the night just 50m from Pension Haus Maria, it is an event not to be missed.
