Skiing & snowboarding in Styria

A relaxing skiing holiday in Austria

A winter holiday in the Murau region means no hectic queues at the ski lifts or noisy après-ski. Quite the opposite: skiing in Styria can be wonderfully combined with the peace and tranquillity of the nature park. The Pichlschloss country estate serves as a peaceful retreat from which several first-class ski resorts are within easy reach for a day trip. In the morning, head out onto the perfectly groomed slopes of Upper Styria, and in the afternoon, the cosy warmth of the house awaits, along with a cup of tea or a freshly tapped Murau beer.

Ski schools and professional ski hire in Styria

In all three ski resorts in Upper Styria, the facilities are perfectly tailored to the needs of winter sports enthusiasts. Right next to the valley stations, you’ll find professional ski schools offering lessons for all ages and ability levels. Experienced instructors guide beginners through their first attempts or help advanced skiers refine their technique. If you don’t want to bring your own equipment on holiday, make use of the local ski hire. The sports shops in St. Lambrecht, on the Kreischberg and in the Lachtal always have the latest, top-quality equipment in stock.

 

Lachtal Ski Resort: Skiing at over 1,600 metres

If you enjoy high-altitude alpine scenery, the Lachtal is just a 35-minute drive away. As one of Styria’s highest-altitude ski resorts, it reaches over 2,200 metres and is therefore considered to have particularly reliable snow conditions. The “Kinder-Lachtal” ensures beaming faces among the little ones with its rope lift and teddy slalom. The wide slopes stretching up to the summit area also offer challenging runs for experienced winter sports enthusiasts. Thanks to the high altitude, freeriders will also find excellent conditions for enjoying the powder snow away from the marked slopes.

Grebenzen-St. Lambrecht Ski Resort

The Grebenzen-St. Lambrecht ski resort is around 11 kilometres away and can be reached in about 15 minutes by car. This family-friendly ski resort is characterised by well-groomed and manageable slopes. It is ideal for winter sports enthusiasts who appreciate quality away from the crowds. Whilst keen skiers enjoy the impressive views of the historic St. Lambrecht Abbey on the expansive slopes, the spacious Kinderland in the valley provides the perfect setting for young skiers and beginners. Equipped with a magic carpet and gentle practice slopes, the Kinderland allows children to take their first turns in a sheltered environment.
