Christmas right on the slopes

On your first day, you'll be the very first ones on the ski slopes! Grab your skis or board and carve down the perfectly groomed, wide runs of our ski mountains Kreischberg and Lachtal. If you're feeling adventurous, there are also amazing deep powder slopes off-piste. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, you can boost your skills at our ski schools or show off your freestyle tricks. You'll be beaming with joy!

On day two, you'll be making your own tracks along the snowy mountain slopes, getting closer to the summit with your touring skis, step by step. All that effort will be totally worth it when you see the incredible views! The sight of the surrounding mountains will fill you with pride. Find out more about ski touring and winter hiking

Festive days in Murau

You'll start the third day nice and relaxed. After a stroll through the historic old town, you'll get into the festive spirit for the upcoming holidays together with the Lercher family. While enjoying a hot mulled wine, you'll open the Advent window together. The hotel's own wellness area offers a perfect way to wind down.

You'll kick off Christmas Eve with a ride on the Christkindl steam train. You'll forget everything around you and simply be happy. In the evening, a Christmas celebration awaits you, following Styrian tradition. Christmas Eve will be celebrated with songs and poems. To top it all off, a festive Christmas dinner awaits you.

On the last day of your stay, you can really sleep in and relax. Over a late riser's breakfast, you can plan your day. Do all the things you haven't gotten around to yet, or anything you really want to do again.
