COMPLETE TRAVEL GUIDE
How to get from Graz Airport to Kreischberg
Graz Airport to Kreischberg uses the Mur valley and an onward narrow-gauge railway connection. Unzmarkt is the interchange for the Murtalbahn, while St. Lorenzen is the useful local arrival for the ski base. Confirm the hotel pickup and avoid buying only as far as Murau if the property is closer to the lifts. Book St. Lorenzen ob Murau / Kreischberg and the property, not only Murau town. Confirm pickup from the local railway stop. Compare the complete arrival, including baggage collection, scheduled waiting and the local hotel connection. A direct vehicle can simplify a trip with several ski bags, while public transport is practical when every dated connection fits the flight.
