With the longest floodlight system of the Alps the snowboard park is well equipped for action until the late evening hours. The Hochwurzen is one of the four mountains of the 4-Berge-Skischaukel Schladming so the snow-park is especially easy to reach.
The mountains around Schladming also have a number of backcountry options and insider tips on offer. In the Hauser-Kaibling ski-region you will find great deep-snow powder descents. Here snowboarders often build their own kickers into the landscape. The Galsterbergalm is the best free-riding tip from the locals. A floodlight system provides perfect conditions for night-snowboarding trips. And racers also have fantastic runs on perfectly-prepared pistes. The slopes at the Planai and the Reiteralm are the perfect race courses. Selective descents are to be found as well as easier slopes for beginners.
The Dachstein glacier is the perfect meeting point during spring, early summer and autumn for the in-crowd of the snowboarder scene. The huge snow-park is a real magnet for the European freestyle elite. When the pros hit the area one thing is certain: it’s time to party. The Pleasure-Jam in November has established itself as the crowning final event of the boarder summer at the Dachstein glacier.
