Winter activities in the Murtal
Snow bunnies are in seventh heaven in the Murtal. Life live at a faster pace while skiing, toboganning and touring, and at a slower pace while cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Feel the heartbeat of the Murtal as the snow crunches under your feet, and marvel at the landscapes thickly blanketed in snow.
a couple of tips - depending on the snow and weather conditions, there are many ways to enjoy the winter
ice skating in the MURTAL
Ice skating is another fun activity. Glide across countless ice rinks: some are situated in town centres, like in Judenburg or Knittelfeld, while some are surrounded by mountains and verdant forests, like in Hohentauern, Gaal or Seckau.
ice-stock shooting
You don't need to be particularly fit, but you'll need a good eye and good technique to get as close to the "Taube" ‒ a wooden disc ‒ as possible using your ice stock. The rules are easy to learn.
And if it's a bit frosty, the Glühwein will simply be served outside and enjoyed right by the ice.
tobogganing with the fun factor
There's a special kind of joy associated with tobogganing. What could be more fun than dashing down the mountain roads on a toboggan ride with the whole family, having feasted on a hearty snack in a cosy chalet inn? There are many tempting mountain restaurants that also offer wonderful sledding options day or night. A classic winter experience in the Murtal that is hard to beat.

What could be cosier than unwinding in soothing warm water while the snow falls thickly outside? The Aqualuxtherme in Fohnsdorf offers rest and relaxation for adults, and fun and adventure for children.
Sporty visitors can head for the spa sports pool, or perhaps the other indoor pools in the region. Or how about a game of tennis or squash? You'll quickly forget the dreary weather over an exciting match. But perhaps you prefer a quieter kind of ball sport? The bowls centre, bowling alleys and pool tables will help you while away a few merry hours in good company.
