Ah, so true almost everywhere in Europe, or indeed the word, these days ;)

Dave: you've omitted your initial experiences with that horse-drawn carriage ...... ;)

Interesting report; now on the "must visit" list !

It is 2 km NE of the railway station, so north of the river and slightly to the east of the centre I guess.

Thanks for this really helpful reply, Buntycake, much appreciated! I'll be staying in a small guesthouse about a mile from the Planai Talstation, and near a ski bus stop, so hopefully near enough to enjoy the town, as you make it sound really nice. Looking forward to discovering the difference between "Steierisch" and the "Tyrolisch" I've experienced previously . Thanks again for a very helpful reply to my post.

I'm going to be spending a long weekend in Schladming in early March. I've never been to that particular of Austria before but generally love skiing in Austria and have always enjoyed Tyrol. Accommodation is booked so just wondering if anybody with knowledge or experience of Schladming has any tips to offer for making the most of a shortish visit there. Thanks!
