    Advanced skiing, freeriding (powder snow skiing) Schladming – Planai/​​Hochwurzen/​​Hauser Kaibling/​​Reiteralm (4-Berge-Skischaukel)

    The 4-mountain ski circuit offers not only challenging slopes but also several off-piste powder runs at the tree line of Planai, Hauser Kaibling, and Reiteralm, as well as some long descents with significant vertical drops. The finish slope of Planai is legendary, where even some of the world’s top slalom stars have struggled. On Reiteralm, there is a special offer for experts: the "Black Quartett." The four black slopes "Black Queen," "Black Power," "Black Rose," and "Black Horse" are true challenges, featuring gradients of up to 80%. Mogul slopes can be found at the Mitterhausbahn on Planai. At Hauser Kaibling, the challenging Panorama descent awaits.
