Schladming is a great ski resort offering adaptive and assisted skiing and other winter sports for almost all health-related conditions. It is located in the Dachstein West region of Austria and within easy reach of both Salzburg and Innsbruck airports - Munich is possible also.
There is a great ski organisation called Freizeit that have excellent ski instructors.
Ski 2 Freedom Foundation has known the adaptive ski and summer organisation Freizeit for many years. We have had very happy beneficiaries who have enjoyed an amazing adaptive ski holiday which has been with family and friends. Inclusive, Accessible and Health Restorative - Schladming offers something for everyone!
If you, a friend or family member have any of the following then Schladming might work brilliantly for your ski or summer holiday. This is by no means an exhaustive list (it would be impossible to include every condition) but many have similar or common factors. As often someone may have a condition that we have not yet come across please do ask us if you are interested in the resort and we can try to help.
We do advise that if you have any health issues that might be affected by extreme temperatures; altitude or have had surgery or an on-going physical / neurological condition that might be or could be affected by being moved at speed, over rough or uneven terrain or being on or in a ski lift please do contact us for more advice before going ahead and booking your holiday. Another resort might work better for you.

Mountain based activities, whether sporting or non-sporting, summer or winter, are empowering elements to life but please note that many may not be suitable for your condition or specific need. Activity providers, guides and instructors will often go out of their way to accommodate the needs of everyone but please understand if they are unable to do so for you.

In addition many have a dedicated website or page for those who are in need of assistance, disabled, with young children and babies and those of us just getting on a bit in life!
We always suggest you look at the Tourist Office website http://www.schladming-dachstein.at/en/ as they have so much to offer and are the real experts in what is going on in their region - it is an amazing place and a typical Austrian hospitality of warmth and friendliness is awaiting you!
The following are delighted to share their experiences with you on how Schladming was able to assist and empower them to have a life enhancing winter and ski holiday. If you would like to speak directly with one of our beneficiaries please contact us so we can put you in touch – sometimes sharing a similar condition can be most reassuring especially for first timers!
*We have skied here a number of times and I never tire of it. There are a number of runs to choose from and keeps the whole family happy. The ski operators recognize the mono ski immediately and always slow the lift down irrespective of whether it is an instructor with Seamus, or me. The instructors who go out with Seamus always accommodate me and are always helpful. We have even ventured to another mountain and the instructor carried the sit ski where necessary and we went in his car.
For the family, I can’t fault it. We can all ski together, as it never seems that busy. There is never an issue with the kids as it is a family oriented resort and safety is paramount.* Family skiing with Freizeit - sit-ski and Schladming
