Lachtal
About the area
Lachtal is a mid-sized Styrian area with about 25 km of pistes, and the balance leans clearly to intermediates: 15 km are red, against 6 km of blue and 3 km of black. That black share is only 11%, and the longest single run drops 288 m of vertical, so strong skiers will run out of challenge quickly. Beginners are workable rather than ideal — a quarter of the terrain is easy, with 8 short easy runs beside a lift base, but only one magic carpet for first steps, which is also the main caveat for families.
Ten lifts serve the hill: 2 chairlifts plus 5 T-bars, a platter, a rope tow and the magic carpet, so expect plenty of surface-lift riding. Skiing runs between 1,571 m and 2,199 m, and the longest descent measures 2,082 m.
