Gastronomy (ski huts, restaurants, eating at the ski resort) Schladming – Planai/Hochwurzen/Hauser Kaibling/Reiteralm (4-Berge-Skischaukel)
Culinary pleasures are catered for in numerous restaurants in the 4-Mountain Ski Area. The restaurants are well distributed on all four mountains, so there is never too far to ski to the next stopping place. The majority of the restaurants are authentically decorated and managed Alpine style huts. On the Planai, restaurant operators have created the "Genuss-Specht" label, representing their commitment to work together to offer top-quality local dishes. There are also some certified ‘ski and wine enjoyment’ (Ski- und Weingenuss) huts. If you are short of time, there are also self-service restaurants on all four mountains.
