Bloom and silence (April – June)
April, May, and June are the months when Kreischberg reveals its quietest, most beautiful side. The mountain meadows are in bloom, and rare orchids and lime-loving plants, which you never encounter on the plains, grow along the Scharfes Eck. The hiking trails are empty, the air is clear, and daytime temperatures range between 12 and 18°C, ideal for those who want to be active without breaking a sweat.
From May 1st, the Murau GästeCard is active, giving you free access to swimming pools, cable cars, and dozens of other attractions in the region.
What makes spring in Kreischberg special
Along the route to the Scharfes Eck, rare wild orchids and lime-loving mountain plants grow in May and June, a phenomenon you do not encounter on the plains. It is one of the concrete reasons why spring is a distinct season in Kreischberg, not just 'for the summer season'.
Low crowds, high experience
In April and May, the hiking trails are virtually empty. You have the routes to yourself, the parking lots are unoccupied, and there is no rush. That is a different kind of holiday than the summer.
Less choice, more experience.
Mild climate for active hikers
During the day, temperatures range between 12 and 18°C, ideal for brisk walks without overheating. It cools down in the evening. Always bring an extra layer, even in May.
Day trips in the spring
Murau
Murau is worth a visit at any time of year. In spring, it is quiet, the terraces have just opened, and the brewery offers tours. It is a 10-minute drive from the apartments.
Graz
Graz in spring is pleasant: fewer tourists than in summer, fresh temperatures, and the parks in bloom. Plan a day trip for an urban change of pace on an active day.
Weather and temperatures in spring
April: 6–13°C during the day, night temperatures close to freezing at altitude. Good walking weather with appropriate clothing. Higher routes may still be covered in snow.
May: 10–18°C during the day, pleasant. Most bloom. Ideal walking season begins.
June: 14–22°C. Warmer, more activities available. Gondola starts in late May or early June.
