Schöckl
Address: (cable car) Schöcklstraße 23, 8061 St. Radegund
Best season: spring to autumn
As the highest mountain in the area, the Schöckl, also known as Graz’s local mountain, has been of great importance for a long time. The beautiful, untouched nature on and around the Schöckl is perfect to unwind.
Once you get to the base of the mountain, there are numerous roads and paths that will take you to the top in around 1.5 to 2 hours. If you want to avoid the strenuous ascent, there is a cable car at the southern foot with which you can be comfortably transported to the “Stubenberghaus” refuge.
Insider tip: For an incomparably quick ascent, the lift road of the cable car is recommended!
No matter how you reach the summit, the view of the surrounding area will take your breath away. There are of course several mountain huts for food and drinks. If you want to enjoy a sunset from the very top, you can even stay overnight.
