    Good to know:

    • High altitudes and state-of-the-art snow-making facilities ensure plenty of snow.
    • Several hundred ski huts and snow bars serve refreshments, drinks and culinary delights.

    Skiing with the whole family 

    Styria has a lot in store for little guests with big aspirations. Between the Dachstein and Stuhleck, there are a few "treats" waiting for all budding winter sports enthusiasts – from ski kindergartens to practice lifts, magic carpets and more ... The "Schneebärenland" in Tauplitz offers low-priced packages for families. And at Riesneralm ski resort in Donnersbachwald, a true highlight awaits little snow sports fans: the "1st Austrian Children's Ski Area". It is five hectares in size and equipped with five lifts. More tips for families: On Kreischberg, the Yabba-Dabba-Doo Land makes children jump for joy. Lachtal ski resort delights with its own "Kinder-Lachtal", and a Gallic ski village is waiting for children on Galsterberg.

    Perfect for kids: The small, but mighty fine ski resorts are easy to navigate, family-friendly and inexpensive.

    Terrain parks, funslopes and more

    Ready, shred, go! In addition to the diverse range of ski runs, wintery Styria also boasts a selection of terrain parks and funslopes. Fantastic conditions thanks to perfectly shaped elements ensure that freestyle skiers and snowboarders truly get their money's worth – regardless of their skill level. 

    The best-known locations for adrenaline junkies and daredevils include:

    Where skiing tastes best

    Culinary delights at the ski huts

    More than 250 ski huts ensure that, in addition to fun on the slopes, skiers and snowboarders also get to enjoy some tasty culinary delights. How about a warm yeast dumpling, for instance – served traditionally with butter or vanilla sauce and poppy seeds or typically Styrian with apple sauce and pumpkin seed brittle? Those who prefer a savoury meal might want to opt for a hearty beef broth or a traditional Brettljause. More about the taste of Styria!

    Styria's ski and snow sports schools

    Almost 60 ski schools in Styria know the ins and outs of teaching children how to ski, and after a few snowploughs, they'll soon be making their first turns. But the ski and snow sports schools in Styria also have the right offers for adults wanting to learn how to ski or all those who want to (re)start after a longer hiatus.

    Night skiing between Schladming and East Styria

    Your day on the slopes was way too short? Or maybe you're more in the mood for some skiing in the evening? Several ski resorts in Styria offer night skiing. From large floodlit areas in Schladming to small but beautiful illuminated slopes in East Styria, there's something for every type of night owl. 

    And one thing is for sure: Skiing and snowboarding under the stars is a unique experience you definitely shouldn't miss. To top off a perfect evening on the slopes, we recommend you stop at one of the numerous cosy huts. In pleasant company, you can enjoy regional delicacies from Styria.
