In shady areas, the ground can be slightly icy, and there may be avalanche danger below slopes. Mountaineering is therefore primarily a matter of personal responsibility – even more so in winter. Tourist associations and avalanche warning services assume no liability whatsoever based on the information provided. Your equipment should ideally include: - Ankle-high, warm shoes. Waterproof, warm shoes with a treaded sole are ideal. Optional: Gaiters for additional snow protection. - A hood and warm clothing, ideally layered. Don't forget a change of clothes for longer winter hikes: a wind and waterproof jacket and trousers. - A small backpack with a warm drink in a thermos and snacks as needed - Sun protection - Cell phone - First aid kit - Optional: crampons/snow spikes (snow chains for shoes), telescopic hiking poles for better grip and balance. read more Game observation (red deer enclosure) at the Nature and Wellness Hotel HöflehnerFor further information, please do not hesitate to contact us: **Schladming-Dachstein Tourist Office** Ramsauerstraße 756 8970 Schladming Phone: +43 3687 23310 E-mail: [Winter Hiking and Snowshoeing](https://www.schladming-dachstein.at/en/service/brochures?type%5B%5D=563686%2C563685%2C563690%2C563687%2C563689%2C563684&type%5B%5D=563688) read more [Fullscreen](https://maps.schladming-dachstein.at/v2/en/gdi_summer/2d/-1/detail/-1/-1/-1/4469/121372133) Wheather predicition ---------------------- today 31.10.2026 Mountain 1°C Valley 9°C Snow Mountain 4 cm Valley 0 cm Wind speed Nordwest 15 km / h Precipitation Probability 90 % Amount 5.1 l/m² Sun Sun hours 5.1 h Sunrise 06:47 o clock Sunset 16:50 o clock Dry and bright with plenty of sunshine, clouds will be rare. tomorrow 01.11.2026 Mountain -4°C Valley 5°C Snow Mountain 3 cm Valley 0 cm Wind speed Nord 15 km / h Precipitation Probability 90 % Amount 3.6 l/m² Sun Sun hours 0.2 h Sunrise 06:48 o clock Sunset 16:48 o clock Dull throughout the day with frequent, but fairly light snowfall. day after tomorrow 02.11.2026 Mountain -1°C Valley 6°C Snow Mountain 0.2 cm Valley 0 cm Wind speed Nordost 10 km / h Precipitation Probability 50 % Amount 0.3 l/m² Sun Sun hours 0 h Sunrise 06:50 o clock Sunset 16:46 o clock The day will be dry, but mostly cloudy with occasional sunny spells.
