Recently went to Schladming for the Special Olympics World Winter Games. It was the best experience. Thank you everyone in Schladming you made us so welcome.The town gave everyone the warmest welcome, the ski races were expertly organised, receptions and medal presentations delightful. The town is a beautiful setting in the valley surrounded by mountain peaks.
Many excellent restaurants offering delicious food; Hotel Mitterhofer was excellent. Was late in the season (mid-late March) and snow suffering from warmish weather, but slopes groomed and maintained well. Thanks Schladming
