Schladming (German: [ˈʃlaːdmiŋ]) is a small former mining town in the northwest of the Austrian state of Styria that is now a popular tourist destination.
In 2010, the Mountainbike Worldcup in Schladming was relocated to Leogang due to construction work taking place for the Ski World Championships in 2013.
[3] The first official mention of the settlement on the site of today's Schladming dates back to 1180.
In the early and high Middle Ages, the place, like the whole of Styria, belonged to the settlement of the Alpine Slavs and was part of the Slavic principality of Carantania.
In March 2017, Schladming was one of the host towns of the 2017 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Styria, Austria, together with nearby Ramsau am Dachstein and Graz.
