The sport trail V is a somewhat more challenging cross-country ski trail on the Joglland trail in St. Jakob im Walde, which has been awarded the Styrian cross-country ski trail seal of approval.

After a round on the sports trail on the Jogllandloipe in St. Jakob im Walde, you really deserve a refreshment - the Kaiserschmarrn at the Gasthof Orthofer is particularly popular. This dish actually has a special meaning at the Gasthof Orthofer, because this is the former hunting lodge of Emperor Charles I. He also got engaged to his wife Zita here. Follow in the Emperor's footsteps on the Jogllandloipe and in the Gasthof Orthofer.

We start our cross-country skiing tour on the five-kilometre-long sport trail in the start/finish arena of the Jogllandloipe in St. Jakob im Walde
After this start/finish area, we follow the orange-marked trail past the snowmaking pond to a first short steep section
This is immediately followed by the opportunity for a short rest
We try to keep up the momentum on this downhill section, follow the groomed trail straight ahead and enter a wooded area
At the Riegler Kohlstatt crossroads, we keep left and follow the trail for around 1.3 kilometers until we reach the so-called Blockplatz again
Here we turn right into the next descent
On the following ascent, we have the opportunity to visit the place where the snow depot is located again in summer
Then we ride briefly downhill before we come to the turnaround
Caution - slow down a little here, as this is a tight bend
Then we walk back on the other side of the trail. Here, too, we have to master a tight bend after a total of around 4 kilometers
We then turn right before the snowmaking pond and follow the trail until we reach the start/finish arena again

Cross-country skiing equipment for skating or classic For those who don't have their own equipment at hand, there is an equipment rental service right at the start of the trail. Here you have the option to choose between standard, premium and racing equipment. Professional waxing services are also offered.

Feel like real World Cup stars: You can also get a taste of this sport with a round of laser biathlon on the Jogllandloipe.

Timetables and travel information can be found at Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) or at Verkehrsauskunft Verbundlinie. For local transportation we recommend the SAM-Sammeltaxi Oststeiermark.
