Cycling, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing or driving fun at the Red Bull Ring, the holiday region of Murau-Murtal offers diversity and variety with a fantastic natural backdrop. And time - the only thing guests need to be able to enjoy all that the wide range of leisure opportunities offers.
Between 700 and 2,700 metres above sea level, from the gentle Seetal and Seckau Alps to the rugged peaks of the Tauern, there's no end to the highlights in the holiday region Murau-Murtal . Some stages of the Hiking Route From the Glacier to the Wine, which runs from the Dachstein to wine country, also accompany you through this enchanting landscape. The Mur forms the "green" thread that runs through the region. The Mur Cycling Path, one of the most beautiful and most-travelled cycling paths in Austria, runs along its banks. Pleasure cyclists and sporting cyclists alike who climb up the gentle peaks will get their money's worth here. On three golf courses, rookies and pros hit their drives. Accelerate and decelerate, adrenaline kicks in the next class –all of this is offered in turn on the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.
In winter, the Murtal skiing mountains not only convince with their excellent slope quality, but also with guaranteed snow thanks to the latest snow-making equipment. This is also the right terrain for your first steps in the snow or a breathtaking downhill run for the "pros". Things get romantic during a torch hike, on a ski trip or on winter hikes, as well as off the slopes – on toboggan runs, cross-country ski runs or on snowshoe hikes. To relax, dive into the water of the Aqualux or Fohnsdorf thermal springs or the health resort Wildbad in Dürnstein.
