FIS Ski World Cup race

The legendary Nightrace and the night giant slalom in Schladming, which has been taking place since 2023, are among the World Cup races with cult status in alpine skiing.

Every year, thousands of fans flock to the Schladming-Dachstein vacation region to experience these spectacular sporting events live at the foot of the Planai. The special thing about these two events: they take place under floodlights , which creates a unique atmosphere and gets the Planai Stadium buzzing.

Every year at the end of January, Schladming becomes the venue for what is probably the most spectacular ski race in the Alpine Ski World Cup winter. You definitely shouldn't miss it!
