By general consensus, Schladming’s nightlife is lively but rarely too rowdy. Opposite the Planai gondola, Charly’s Treff also known as the Planaistub’n is complete with photographs of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was born not far away in Graz.
Loud music announces the usual party atmosphere at Onkel Willi’s – once amusingly described in the Guardian as “a goldmine disguised as a ski emporium…inside, you can't breathe; outside, you can't hear”.
Later, revellers move on to establishments like The Pub, La Porta, close to the old town gateway, and the Hanglbar (ten pin bowling in the basement, with lanes hand carved into rock).
Late-night party-goers favour the Sonderbar disco beneath the Hotel Rössl, which – even with three bars – is kept busy.
