Hohentauern Skiarea

The resort of Hohentauern is small, has 15 km of well-prepared pistes and is a perfect place for skiers who want to enjoy “winter’s pure nature” with their families. Being advantageously situated at heights of between 1,250-1,800 metres, there is guaranteed snow all winter long. As soon as it begins to snow, everything revolves around winter sport. 

Hohentauern also has a Children’s Paradise with magic carpet (conveyer belt), merry-go-round, fairytale forest etc. There are 11 km of tracks for the cross country skiers, 10 km of winter walking paths and a natural ice rink. The park itself is situated in the centre of the ski resort where you can enjoy downhill and cross country skiing, snowboarding, and sledging. If you are looking for more extensive skiing, you will find this only 40 km away, in the Obertauern ski area (120 km of piste at heights where snow is  guaranteed) . Closer to Hohentauern you will find the ski areas of Kreischberg and Turacher Hohe.

Lachtal Skiarea

More mountain, more ski! The sun sends its rays over the Lachtal. High up, at 2200 m, the snow is glittering, while you are enjoying the beautiful panorama of the Styrian mountain world, deep blue the sky above you. The second largest Styrian ski resort attracts visitors with the most beautiful slopes. A total of 140 hectares of slopes at an altitude of 1.600 to 2.222 m invites all skiers, carvers and boarders. The slopes are varied - something for everybody – with a total length of 33 km. The snowboard-park at Lachtal offers two kickers of different sizes, a cornerjump and two rails. The new Wetter Pauli piste is ideal for families from the mountainstation along the Kleinlachhütte downhill.

Summer

There are probably even more activities on offer for the summer visitors – swimming in a local indoor pool, tennis or even a round of golf on the 18-hole course in Weissenbach. You can also go horse riding, fishing or mountain climbing (many cycle paths and mountain bike routes). The area is a walker’s paradise with more than 200 kilometres of marked routes nearby. Only a few kilometres away is the Celtic themed nature park, Keltenberg with its own Waterworld and a village built on poles. – A definite MUST for the children!
