Ski Opening 2023 in Schladming

On December 7th and 8th, 2023, Austria's most legendary ski opening will return at the foot of the Schladminger Planai.

Ski Opening mit Robbie Williams

Schladming-Dachstein and Schladming 4-mountain ski area

What a show! The Schladming-Dachstein Ski Opening with world star Robbie Williams is history and it was two unforgettable concert evenings. Embedded in the idyllic snowy backdrop, the spectacular stage provided space for a line-up in a class of its own. 

As the support act, up-and-coming Austrian artist NIKOTIN rocked the stage with his unique blend of pop, synthesiser sounds and rock star attitude. Josh, a shooting star of the Austrian German pop scene, presented hits such as "Cordula Grün" and emotional songs. Chris Steger, a successful Austrian talent, enthralled his audience with dialect and touching lyrics.
