Craftsmanship Meets Winter Sports
When craftsmanship meets winter sports, team spirit, athletic ambition, and plenty of good vibes are guaranteed. From March 5 to 7, 2027, the Craftsmen’s Ski World Championships will return to Kreischberg for its second edition—and the Murau-based “ Gasthof ” at Hotel Lercher is the ideal base for a weekend of Ski World Championships in the Murau-Kreischberg region.
We give it our all for moments like these.
The premiere alone showed what makes this special event so unique:
In 2025, 90 participants from eight countries took part in the first Craftsmen’s World Ski Championships at Kreischberg. In 2027, it’s time once again to strap on your skis and hit the slopes with colleagues and craftsmen from different countries!

Hit the slopes, get set, go!
Team spirit. Fun on the slopes. And that authentic World Cup vibe.
At the Craftsmen's World Ski Championships, it's not just about who crosses the finish line first. It's about the shared experience. It's about team spirit. It's about the joy of skiing.
The event is a giant slalom, with the focus on the best average time in both the team and individual competitions. Those who want to take a more competitive approach can also test their skills against the fastest tradespeople on the course. All team participants are automatically entered in the individual competition as well.
Employees of skilled trades businesses and anyone who has completed an apprenticeship in a skilled trade are welcome to participate.
A day on the slopes that goes far beyond the race itself. Line up at the starting line together, enjoy the special atmosphere at Kreischberg, and spend the day skiing together. This is where a passion for sports and genuine camaraderie come together—right in the heart of the winter mountain landscape of the Murau region.
