The trail is 2.5 km long, with 2 separate tracks (for classic and "skating" technique) running parallel to each other. Located at 1,573 meters above sea level, the cross-country skiing area in Lachtal is actually one of the ten highest in Styria.

Away from the pistes and ski trails, Lachtal also excites with an idyllic winter hiking route. Starting from the parking area by the valley station, this winter hike leads all the way up to the Kleinlachtalhütte, wending its way through forests blanketed deep in snow and along picturesque hiking paths. From December to April, you will be greeted by impressive vistas extending into the far distance. The round trip, out and back, is roughly 5 km in total.

The region's 1.5 km long sledding hill ensures fun sled rides for young and old on natural snow. And thanks to the floodlights, visitors can continue to enjoy their sledding adventures until 10:00 PM. This hill has been awarded the International Tobogganing Seal of Quality.

In summer, Lachtal offers a wide variety of hiking trails and all levels of difficulty. From easy walks along the valley bottom to more challenging expeditions in the mountains, there's something here for every hiker. The region is particularly well known for its numerous summit tours, including the family-friendly adventure trail "Wildes Lachtal" and the moderately difficult "Grosses Lachtal – 5 Summit Hike". The summer mountain lift (a 6-seater chairlift) carries you up and down the mountain in comfort.
