Snow-Tubing at Kreischberg
The tubing track is located near the mountain station of the gondola at Kreischberg. On an inflatable tire, called a "tube," you zoom down one of the three designated tracks. After being gently slowed down at the end of the track, you can return to the starting point using the tubing lift.
Ice skating and curling
Ice skating is a pleasant alternative to skiing during the winter season. In the Murau region, there are ice skating rinks and natural ponds available, depending on the weather and conditions. Ice stock sport also has a long tradition in Styria and is especially well suited to groups, families and sociable winter days.
