Intermediate skiers will find Irdning a suitable destination with a good mix of blue and red pistes.

Fun
Perfect
Irdning may not be the best fit for advanced skiers seeking adrenaline-pumping challenges. The resort primarily caters to beginners and intermediates, with a majority of its slopes being blue and red. While there are a few black runs, they are not particularly steep or long, and may not provide the level of difficulty that advanced skiers typically crave.

Perfect
Irdning offers a snowboarding experience that is both relaxed and enjoyable. The resort features a variety of slopes that are perfect for beginners and intermediate snowboarders, with gentle gradients and wide-open spaces. While it may not have the extensive snowparks or freestyle terrain of larger resorts, its peaceful atmosphere and well-groomed pistes make it a great choice for those looking to improve their skills in a less crowded environment.

Irdning for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Poor
Perfect
Irdning may not be the first choice for freeriders as it primarily caters to families and beginners with its gentle slopes and well-groomed pistes. The resort lacks the challenging terrains, steep gullies, and deep powder fields typically sought after by off-piste enthusiasts. However, for those looking to practice their freeriding skills in a more relaxed environment, Irdning can provide a suitable setting.

Irdning apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Poor
Irdning offers a more relaxed après-ski atmosphere, perfect for those who prefer a calm evening after a day on the slopes. You can enjoy a quiet drink at the cosy Gasthof Grabenwirt or the traditional Gasthof Jagawirt. For those seeking a bit more excitement, the nearby town of Schladming offers a more vibrant nightlife with popular spots like Siglu Bar and Hohenhaus Tenne Schladming.
