Schladming 2023 - Part 1

Schladming
 
Sunday - March 12th 2023
 
Our second ski trip this year took us to Schladming in Styria, best known for the famous Night Race. Schladming is about an hour from Salzburg by car and so Sunday early morning we hit the road. Once we arrived we bought our skipass and locker for the next three days. Then we took the cable car on top of Planai Mountain. The weather wasn't that great, but at least it didn't snow. To our surprise the slopes were in a really good condition and since it snowed during the night the whole area looked like a winter wonderland. Later we stopped at a nice looking bar to get a couple of drinks to celebrate my birthday before heading to the next ski lodge for lunch.

In the afternoon we checked out other areas of the ski resort and then we called it a day, since we still had to check in at our hotel. In Schladming we stayed at the Falkensteiner Hotel, a modern and fancy hotel. Check in was quick and easy and soon we unpacked our luggage in our beautiful room. Afterwards we headed down to the bar to have some drinks before getting ready for dinner. Claudia and I both had a salad for starter followed by an Asian Pasta dish, which was really good. For dessert the staff surprised us with a cake, since today was my birthday. Being really tired we went back to the room and watched TV until we fell asleep.

Schladming 2023 - Part 2

Skiing In Schladming
 
Monday - March 13th 2023
 
We slept really well and after we hit the breakfast buffet, we got ready for another skiing day. The hotel was located just a couple of minutes from the cable car and so we didn't need the car to get there, especially since we left our ski in the locker we rented. Today we had planned to check out the Planai ski resort, but soon we realized we like the Hauser Kaibling ski resort bettter, and so after we had a drink at a nice ski lodge, we skied over to Hauser Kaibling.

For lunch we stopped at Tomiziel ski lodge, where we got spätzle and pasta, both dishes were okay, but nothing special. Since the weather was really good today we hit the slopes soon again and spent the rest of the afternoon skiing at Hauser Kaibling. Later we headed back to Planai and after we ended our ski day, we decided to have a couple of drinks at the famous apres ski bar Hohenhaus Tenne. At first there wasn't a lot going on, but after the DJ started to play music, the whole bar got crowded. We had a fantastic time there, unfortunately dinner was waiting for us at the hotel and so we left. Dinner was fine and since we were really tired, we called it a day and returned to the room.
