Pure Nature. Pure Styria.
Where kids find adventure and parents find peace
Your nature adventure starts at the doorstep of the Glowworm Chalet – whether you’re traveling with children, a dog, or a backpack. The surrounding meadows, forests, and alpine pastures offer endless opportunities to discover and unwind: barefoot walks in the grass, forest treasure hunts, wildlife watching, or simply soaking up the sun.
Experiences for all ages
From forest discovery trails to winter toboggan runs, from herb gathering to water fun at the private fishpond with waterfall – there’s never a dull moment here. The Hauereck ski slope, just a 5-minute walk away, is ideal for families with children and beginners.
Tip for active travelers
Looking for more action? Visit the Bärenschützklamm climbing park or try a rafting tour on the Mürz River for adrenaline-filled outdoor fun. Cyclists will find a range of routes nearby – from leisurely scenic paths to challenging trails for sports enthusiasts.
