Winter Adventures in Erzberg-Leoben
When snow covers the mountains around the Erzberg, Präbichl, and Leoben, winter begins in Styria—a winter that offers more than just a beautiful scenery. On the Präbichl, families make their first turns on the slopes, while more athletic visitors set their sights on the Polsterrinne. Meanwhile, cross-country skiing enthusiasts glide along four trails certified with the Styrian Cross-Country Ski Trail Seal of Quality through the Eisenerzer Ramsau, under floodlights into the Trofaiacher Krumpen, along the Grüner See, or through Wald am Schoberpass—with access to the trail right at the train station.
Off the slopes, Erzberg-Leoben stays active too: animal encounters await at the Tragöß Wildlife Park, husky adventures with the Iron Road Siberians make eyes of all ages light up, and alpaca hikes offer moments of relaxation in the cold winter.
Around December 4, culture comes alive along the Styrian Iron Road with celebrations marking the feast day of St. Barbara, the patron saint of miners. Afterward, heartwarming culinary delights await in cozy inns and fine restaurants. Local delicacies and seasonal dishes grace the plates, providing the perfect finale to an active winter day in Erzberg-Leoben.
