Kreischberg rises above the upper Mur valley near Murau, in the western corner of Styria. It hosted the Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships in 2015 and is popular with freestyle riders and families alike.
From Graz to the upper Mur valley
North on the A9
The ride starts on the Pyhrn motorway, through the Gleinalm tunnel to St. Michael in Upper Styria.
Murtal expressway
The S36 follows the Mur valley west past Knittelfeld and the Spielberg racetrack towards Judenburg.
Valley road B96
Beyond the expressway, the Murtal road continues through Scheifling and the town of Murau.
St. Georgen am Kreischberg
A few kilometres past Murau you reach the valley station and the hotels of St. Georgen.
Winter driving on the Murtal road
There is no high pass on this route, but the last hour runs on an ordinary valley road where snow and slush slow things down after a fresh fall. Vehicles use winter tyres in season and carry chains for the final climbs to hotels above the valley.
The drive time can lengthen on Saturdays, when many holiday apartments change guests, and on days with heavy snowfall.
Where to stay around Kreischberg
- At the valley station
- Hotels and apartments in St. Georgen let you walk to the gondola. Ask your host where the driver should stop.
- Murau
- A small medieval town with a brewery tradition, about a quarter of an hour by road from the lifts.
- Chalets on the slopes
- Mountain chalets and lodges reached by steeper side roads. Share the exact address and any access notes when booking.
