Rohrmoos and the holiday region Schladming-Dachstein in winter

In winter the holiday region Schladming-Dachstein is one of Austria's top ski areas with its 4-mountain ski area - and Haus Talblick with its apartments is right in the heart of the region. Skiing starts in front of our door. After the first ride you find yourself at the valley terminal Planai-West - the central point of the 4-mountain ski area where you choose to either go West towards Hochwurzen and Reiteralm, or East to Planai and Hauser Kaibling.

At Hochwurzen in Rohrmoos you additionally have the possibility to go skiing at night or for a sled run on the 7 km long toboggan track. The modern Hochwurzen gondola brings you to the top. With Hochwurzenhütte, Hochwurzenalm, Seiterhütte with Celtic Bar and Tauernalm there are 4 mountain inns along the piste and the toboggan run - and there is definitely an option for everybody. Your advantage: the night bus of Planai-Hochwurzen stops right in front of Haus Talblick and takes you to Hochwurzen gondola and the sled rentals of Schi Lenz and Tauernalm.

If you are in search for an alternative programme to skiing, the ski bus also takes you to Untertal valley, where you can enjoy cross country skiing on Kristallloipe and Sportoipe tracks and make a stop at Waldhäuslalm or Gasthof Tetter for a rest and a culinary delight. Directly from Rohrmoos you can also access various winter walking trails or head out equipped with snow shoes, for which we recommend a tour into Obertal valley and a lunch break at Windbacherstube.
