Driving to Schladming
Getting from Salzburg Airport to Schladming
Salzburg airport is the best option by some way, with an excellent range of charter flights and some scheduled services and a distance of under 100km to travel. Added to that the route is mostly motorway directly south until the junction with the Enns valley.
Getting from Linz Airport to Schladming
Linz airport is the next closest and offers scheduled services from Vienna as well as a number of options from Germany and, currently, from London with one of the low-cost carriers. Again there are great motorway connections to the south down the A9 to Liezen and then into the other end of the Enns valley.
Getting from Graz Airport to Schladming
It is a bit strange that Graz airport is less attractive for a Styrian resort but the airport for the provincial capital is further away than the previous two options and offers nothing in the way of charter flights and a limited selection of scheduled flights mainly to German-speaking countries.
Vienna and Munich airports are both over 250km away from the town, but may be unavoidable for those travelling on particular scheduled flights. The popular ski charter flight airport Innsbruck is nearly as far away, while Klagenfurt is a little bit more problematic in terms of connections and offers nothing more in the way of flights than the nearer smaller airports.
If you plan to drive from the airport or nearby cities, renting a car can be convenient. Below you can compare car rental options for any closeby Airport or City.
