Whether you’re a seasoned snowsports enthusiast or a newbie to riding snowparks, Superpark Planai has you covered, with stunning views over the Austrian Alps and a versatile and creative park set-up for all levels.

We can tell you this: you’re in for an unforgettable snowboarding or skiing (or both) adventure. Located in Schladming, a charming town nestled in the Ennstal Valley in Styria, Superpark Planai is an essential stop for freestyle enthusiasts of all levels.

Schladming is a beautiful smallish city known for its picturesque mountain setting, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. Once you arrive in Schladming, getting to the Superpark Planai is a breeze!

Head straight to the Planai Gondola (Planaibahn 1 and 2) from the city centre, where you’ll find easy parking options in their parking garage. You go onto the gondi from there, which takes you up in two sections. The first section offers stunning views of the town and valley below, while the second part elevates you to an elevation where your adventure truly begins.

From the top, follow Route 8 or 8a to find your way to the Weitmoos area, where the Superpark Planai is located. The park sits just next to the Weitmosslift station, making it super easy to access and lap the park all day.

The park is renowned for its well-maintained and creative features, catering to various abilities, from beginners to seasoned pros. The park has various obstacles, such as rails, boxes, tubes and different-sized jumps. Expect tired legs and a happy mind after a day lapping at Superpark Planai. Imagine progression, good vibes all around, and laps and more.

With a length of 461 meters and 36 obstacles lined up, the Superpark Planai speaks to its name.

Three different areas will ensure your progression stays on track.

The Beginner and Intermediate lines feature a variety of obstacles with varying difficulty levels, plus a kicker to help you advance your air-time skills. From simple board slides to back-lips, bretzels and k-feds, mastering these tricks will soon feel effortless: “Practice makes a master”.

The Advanced Area offers more challenging obstacles to help you level up your game and become a solid rider.

Before you pack your gear and dive into action, proper board prep, adjusting your bindings and packing the appropriate gear is essential.

Ensure your board or skis are tuned with well-waxed bases (check the temperature and weather before you prep your gear). Your bindings should be adjusted for comfort and control (check your DIN settings!).

Don’t forget to check your boots and if they match your bindings – snug fitting but not too tight!

to ensure you pack all the essentials. Being prepared for the mountain weather is key. Temperatures in the Alps can change rapidly, so layering is a must. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, followed by an insulated mid-layer (like a fleece or down jacket), and finish it off with a steezy, waterproof and breathable outer layer. You want to stay warm and dry, especially during an action-packed day at Superpark Planai.

Don’t forget to keep your grubby mitts warm, aka. Don’t forget a pair of gloves you like and keep you warm and dry (nobody likes frozen fingers or sweaty hands). What else? Goggles with a spare lens, other essential protection (like well-fitting back protection), some sunnies for the extra style sprinkle, and a helmet. Helmets are cool, we promise: “You only have one brain”.

We know what it’s like; riding Superpark Planai all day encourages us to forget about food and hydration. However, a good food break can make a big difference and enhance your performance. Nobody wants a hangry shredder around – there are a few mountain huts and restaurants near the park, such as the Berghotel Planai, where you can refuel yourself with hearty local cuisine.

If you prefer to bring your own, pack some snacks and plenty of water with some added electrolytes. Check out the article about what snags to bring - there's so many options!
