Ski area Lachtal und Kreischberg

You can go carving and boarding to your heart's content on a total of 68 km in two of the biggest ski areas in Styria - and all that with only one lift pass: The 2-in-1 lift pass for the ski areas of Kreischberg and Lachtal! It does not matter if you are a wallower, a lover of variety or a freestyler, everybody will get their money's worth.

The Kreischberg ski area was awarded several times. It comprises 42 km of piste and spreads up to the mountains Kreischberg (2,002 m) and Rosenkranzhöhe (2,118 m). Here, among others, a new 10-person gondola gives you access to the broad pistes with a panoramic view. With a speed track and a permanent racing track, Kreischberg is popular amongst those who like to compete against each other, and always comes up with a new challenge. The snow making systems have been renewed in the last years, so that now 90 % of the entire ski area can be covered with artiticial snow, which gives the ski area a high guarantee of snow.

Various facilities of kids, such as e.g. the Flintstones-themed "Yabba-Dabba-Doo-Land", the "Dino Park" or the "Kreischi Safari" make the ski area very family-friendly. The little ones are perfectly well cared for with the kid's area with wavy slope, tubing trail, a Kreischi Tampolin as well as children's care service, ski kindergarten and a ski school.

One of the sportive highlights and certainly one of the region's landmarks is the "Snowpark Kreischberg". Freestylers have discovered it a long time ago. The well-shaped freestyle areal is located on an altitude of 1,900 m in the area around the Sunshine lifts. It comprises a medium and a beginner line, as well as a small half pipe dating back to the beginnings of the freestyle scene at Kreischberg.

Further 25 km of piste await you in nearby Lachtal. Well-groomed pistes and a true El Dorado for freeriders with excellent off-piste slopes are to be found here. Fans of powder snow can look forward to 10 additional kilometres of ski routes. Many natural jumps are perfect for adults, and the little ones can let off steam in the spacious kid's area "Kinder-Lachtal". The area at Hoher Zinken (2,222 km) has a magic carpet, teddy tow lift, mini slalom, a course with colourful figures, a wavy trail and a treasure hunt, which makes it the perfect place to be for children.

If you love variation, we recommend the Super Ski Card, which is valid in the ski areas of e.g. Wilder Kaiser - Brixental, Schneewinkel, Skiregion Dachstein West, Zell am See - Kaprun. With this lift pass you can experience unlimited skiing fun on 2.794 km of piste in 25 ski regions in Tyrol and Salzburg!

Après ski St. Georgen ob Murau

In the Kreischberg ski area itself, a total of twelve cosy huts and bars cater for your physical well-being. The panorama restaurant "EAGLE" is a new highlight. At 2,000 m above sea level, there is not only a fantastic view, but also a wide selection of food and drinks. Those in a hurry can simply use the "Drive-In" for a quick stop.

The trendy pub "Schluckspecht" is very popular with young and old, but also in the valley there are a number of possibilities to end the day, such as e.g. at "Einkehrschwung" or the "Kastanienbar", where you can party until late at night.

The approx. 1.2 km long Kreischberg toboggan run is especially loved by the youngest ones. Once per week you can enjoy tobogganing until the evening.

Up on Kreischberg there are two new hiking trails that both start at the 6-person gondola's mountain station: The "Kreischberg See Runde" is a nice one hour walk around the impounding reservoir, which is the heart of the snow making system. The "Zirben Wanderweg" leads through the pine wood to the Rosenkranz-lifts' valley station. The hikes takes approx. 2 hours.

Apart from that there a various more leisure time activities available in the valley. Fans of swimming and sauna can visit the Murau public indoor pool and if you are looking for adventure you can dare a tandem jump with a paraglider.

Snowpark: Snowpark Kreischberg St. Georgen ob Murau

After the successful Snowboard World Championship in 2003, the Kreischberg was host to another FIS World Championship in 2015. With both snowboarding and ski freestyle, it was a first "double World Championship".

The professionals at QParks have made a good job: On an altitude of 1,900 m close to the Sunshine lifts the well-shaped fun park offers all a freestyler needs. The beginner line alone is worth a mention: here you can practise on three kicker jumps, a wave run jump and several butter boxes. The medium line comprises eleven obstacles such as rails, boxes, kickers and a small half-pipe dating back to the beginnings of the freestyle scene at Kreischberg, that was well included to the park. There is nothing in the way of cool tricks, adrenaline rushes and a whole lot of fun!
