Summer Holidays
High mountains, lush green alpine pastures and the river Mur are the most prominent features here, between the Seckau Alps and the Hohe Tauern range.
Families, the fit and outdoorsy and nature lovers can look forward to a land of diverse activities.
Discover plenty of family-friendly attractions. After an effortless climb with the three cable cars “Kreischberg”, “Lachtal” and “Turracherhöhe” that are also in service in summer, you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular view.
Hikers will love the family-friendly country walks, themed trails and demanding routes for mountaineers. Cyclists can explore hundreds of kilometres of cycle paths up hill and down dale, across the undulating hills and along the rivers.
The highlight: the long-distance cycle route along the river Mur (“Murradweg”). Pedal along one of the most beautiful stretches of the river Mur which has its source in Salzburg, just a few kilometres from the border to Styria.
Winter Holidays
The ski resorts in the Murtal valley offer high-quality pistes and a reliable snow cover thanks to state-of-the-art snowmaking machines. From the mountain pass Turrach to the mountain Semmering, twelve mountains in the Murtal and Mürztal valleys have joined forces, giving rise to a network of ski resorts with ideal conditions for winter sports. Plus, there are a lot of small, family-run ski resorts. They are perfect for everyone who’d like to make the first turns on skis.
Snow boarders will love the ski resort “Kreischberg” with the “snow park Kreischberg” - a paradise for snow boarders!
