Squash & Indoor Tennis at the Sporthotel Royer
1–2 hours · 2–4 people per court · from 22 €900 m
Rain doesn't have to mean a rest day: at the Sporthotel Royer, the large sports hotel right by Schladming's centre, a squash court and three indoor tennis courts are waiting for you to work up a sweat — and that expressly applies to guests not staying at the hotel too. You can borrow rackets and balls at reception, so all you need is sportswear and indoor shoes. Whether it's a fast-paced squash match with your travel companion or a leisurely hour on the tennis court: this is where you turn a rainy afternoon into a sweat-inducing pleasure.
What awaits you
The Sporthotel Royer carries sport in its name and in its offering: alongside the squash court there is a tennis hall with three courts, plus billiards, table tennis, darts and indoor rifle shooting in the house, among other things. The complex is located on Europaplatz, just a few steps from the Planai valley station and the town centre. Hire equipment for squash — rackets and balls — is available free of charge at reception, so you can play spontaneously even without your own kit.
Prices & reservation
For external guests, the squash court costs € 22.00 per hour in summer and € 26.50 per hour in winter (as of July 2026). You book your playing time directly at reception — by phone on +43 3687 200-0 or by email to reservierung@royer.at. For the tennis hall and other offers such as the in-house bowling alleys, it's also best to ask there about availability and conditions; especially in the winter season and on rainy days, booking early is recommended.
Getting there from Schladming
It could hardly be shorter: the Sporthotel Royer is located at Europaplatz 583 in the middle of Schladming, not far from the Planai cable car. From the town centre you're there in just a few minutes on foot, and there is parking right by the hotel. That means the court is quickly reached even when the weather only turns bad at short notice — pack your sports kit, stroll over, start playing.
Insider tips
Squash is more intense than many people think: for your first go, plan half an hour to a full hour of pure playing time and bring plenty to drink. Indoor shoes with light-coloured soles are a must on the court. If you haven't had enough after the match, extend the fun with a game of billiards or darts in the house — and as a reward, the hotel bar awaits with a view of the mountains.
