Location
TAUERNHOF RETREAT CENTER
Tauernhof Christian Retreat Center is located in beautiful Schladming, Austria in the heart of the Alps. Schladming is about one hour southeast of Salzburg.
Tauernhof's campus is located immediately next door to the gondola station for one of the world's most prestigious ski mountains, Planai. Each day after breakfast, strap on your boots, grab your gear, and walk next door. It cannot possibly be more convenient.
Possible Excursions
Several optional excursions will be planned throughout the week; some of which will be dependent upon the weather. Each excursion typically has an additional cost which will be announced during the week.
