In Haus im Ennstal, the range of tourist attractions includes access to the Schladming 4-mountain ski circuit, hiking opportunities in the Schladming Tauern, museums and local history. Cycling, golf and other leisure activities are also associated with the town. To help plan your trip, it’s useful to choose a main focus first: winter sports, outdoor activities or an interest in local history.
Winter sports, mountains and other activities
The Hauser Kaibling ski area offers access to the Schladming 4-mountain ski circuit. This is a specific point of reference for a winter-sports-focused stay. Winter activities associated with Haus im Ennstal also include leisurely horse-drawn sleigh rides. As providers and schedules can change, check the current offer if you’re planning a ride.
Haus im Ennstal offers hiking opportunities in the Schladming Tauern. Cycling is associated with the Enns Cycle Path; the tourist offer also includes a motorized e-trail park. Golfing at the Schladming-Dachstein Golf Course, designed by Bernhard Langer, is also part of the visitor offering. Course details and visiting arrangements may change, so check the latest information before your visit.
Comparing activities by type makes it easier to choose: hiking and cycling are non-motorized options; the e-trail park is explicitly motorized. Golfing adds a sport of its own, while horse-drawn sleigh rides are among the winter activities.
Museums and local history
The town’s history can be traced through specific buildings: the winter sports museum is housed in the old “Troadkasten” at Schlossplatz, and the deanery museum was established in the former tithe barn next to the rectory. The building in Haus known as the “castle” acquired its present appearance through extensive renovations in 1817/18. The museum locations point to specific historic buildings, while the dated renovation phase brings the “castle’s” building history into focus. “Troadkasten” means a granary; a tithe barn was once used to store the tithe. The names refer to the different historic storage functions of the two museum buildings.
Other leisure activities
There is an outdoor swimming pool and a beach volleyball court at Badgasse 193 in Haus. Both offer a different focus from mountain sports, cycling and local history.
Choose accommodation based on your reason for travelling
If you’re looking for a hotel in Haus, you can use the reason for your trip as your starting point. Access at Hauser Kaibling makes winter sports the focus of your plans; hiking in the Schladming Tauern or cycling along the Enns Cycle Path each offers a different activity focus. If you prefer culture, you can explore the museums and the town’s architectural history. For a stay that includes several interests, it helps to choose one main theme and consider the other offerings as alternatives.
