The Lachtal ski resorts offers 35 km of well prepared ski slopes, served by two modern six-seat cable cars and eight ski lifts. Its size cannot be compared to large ski regions or networks such as Ski Amadé or Skicircus, but it makes Lachtal more pleasant and quiet.

​

On top of that: lower stations of the cable cars are located very high (1,600 m) and most of the slopes are equipped with snow cannons, so you can ski here without any problems from the beginning of December until Easter. The local ski resort is very suitable for children. The children's park is carefully separated from the ski area and is excellently equipped - from a sliding carpet and rope lift for beginners to a slalom course for the little ones.

​

Fans of cross-country skiing will appreciate a well-groomed circuit suitable for both classic and skating. Directly in the valley, you can also find an ice rink and 1,5 km long illuminated natural snow toboggan run. Thanks to the high altitude, the apartment house in Lachtal is a great starting point for ski-alpine ridge hiking on the mountain ridge above the valley. After a whole day of ski fun on skis or in case of worse weather, a visit to the thermal pools is definitely more than welcome. Only 30 kilometres away, you can find the Aqualux Therme Fohnsdorf water park, with a total area of pleasantly warm pools exceeding 900 m² .

​

During summer, Lachtal offers an abundance of trips and alpine hikes. The Lachtal 6-er Bahn is also in operation during the summer holidays and takes visitors to the top station at an altitude of 1,970 meters above sea level. From there, you can easily reach the mountain ridge surrounding the Lachtal valley and offering stunning views reaching to the Dachstein range in the north. During the mountain hike, you can make a rest and enjoy pleasant meals in one of the mountain huts, such as the Grillerhütte or the Klosterneuburghütte.

​

Fans of cycling will appreciate more than 450 kilometers of trails for both mountain and road bikes. Not far from the Lachtal Valley, you can find the well-known Murradweg – one of the longest and most beautiful cycling routes in Austria, following the Mur river from the High Tauern Mountains to Graz and the border with Slovenia.

​

Biggest attractions for families with children include the adventurous Wilde Lachtal trail or the ropeway center near the town of Oberwölz, less than 15 kilometers from the Lachtal valley. Also Oberwölz itself is worth a visit - it has a beautiful historic center and a good selection of shops, cafes and restaurants.

​

A popular excursion destination that cannot be omittedt is the Red Bull Spielberg racetrack, where the Formula 1 World Championship races take place every year and where you can even try a test drive on the circuit.
