Alpine Club

The resort and its setting

Alpine Club is a casual, independently run mountain resort in Schladming, built around warm, chalet-style studios and apartments rather than large hotel blocks. Guests have access to an on-site restaurant, a pool and a bar — the kind of straightforward set-up that suits a ski or hiking base rather than a destination resort in its own right. With a 4.4 out of 5 rating from over 1,300 Google reviews, it has a solid track record as a comfortable, no-fuss base for active mountain holidays.

Schladming and what there is to do

Schladming is one of Austria's best-known ski towns, part of the Four Mountains (Vier Berge) ski area, and the resort's location on Alpineweg puts owners within easy reach of the lift network in winter. Outside the snow season, the same slopes and valleys open up for hiking and mountain biking, with the wider Ennstal Valley offering scenic drives and the Dachstein massif and Riesachfalls waterfalls within day-trip range. Salzburg, with its old town and cultural sights, is roughly 90km away and is a popular add-on for owners wanting a city day out alongside their mountain week.

Selling or renting a week here

Alpine Club is an independent resort, so resale here goes through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a branded exchange company. On BidMyTimeshare.com you list your week yourself: you set the asking price, pay a one-time listing fee, and there's no commission taken when the sale or rental goes through — buyers and renters contact you directly via the platform.

Transfer costs and current annual fees for Alpine Club aren't published, so ask the resort's owners' association or management directly for the exact transfer fee, the current annual maintenance charge, and whether they hold any right of first refusal on a resale before you agree a price with a buyer. Also confirm in writing what transfers with the week — the usage rights themselves, and any banked points or reservation — and what doesn't, such as any loyalty perks tied only to the original purchase.

Renters, meanwhile, tend to look for clear season and week dates (ski weeks command more interest than shoulder-season ones), confirmed occupancy, and straightforward details on what's included — studio or apartment size, and access to the pool, bar and restaurant.

Practical notes for owners and buyers

Winter (December to March) is peak season for skiing and the weeks most in demand for both resale and rental, so listing early for a premium winter week tends to pay off. Summer (June to September) draws hikers and mountain bikers and often brings a quieter, lower-key atmosphere and better availability. Schladming is reachable by car on Austrian motorways or by train from Salzburg and Graz, with Salzburg Airport around 90 minutes away by road — worth noting for any renter or buyer travelling from outside Austria.
