    Skiing in Eastern Styria

    Unforgettable fun on the slopes and sporting enjoyment!

    In the winter months, Eastern Styria is transformed into a true family skiing paradise. In the 12 small skiing regions, the youngest in particular rule the slopes.
     

    In Eastern Styria, relaxation is the name of the game—whether from the mountains to the valleys or for the soul. No stress, neither on the slopes nor in the cozy huts. Parents in particular can slow down here, as ski schools and the family-friendly environment ensure happy kids. And after sunset, a highlight awaits: night skiing. After a fun day in the snow, the little ones on the slopes quickly drift off to dreamland. 

    12 Family ski resorts

    We believe that tomorrow’s world champions may start their skiing career in the Eastern Styria. Even now, they expertly zoom down the slopes.

    What goes up must come down

    Your stay in Austria’s garden should be pleasant and by no means hectic. Not on the slopes, and not in the cosy lodges where everyone hangs out together after the final run. Parents in particular, whose nerves may be put to the test during the first attempts by their offspring on the slopes, can lower their heart rate in the Eastern Styria. 

    Both the ski schools and the family-friendly atmosphere contribute to keeping kids happy. Activity on the slopes continues with night skiing after sundown.
