THE GREEN HEART OF AUSTRIA

Styria is rich in contrast and variety. The landscape is marked by craggy mountain ranges, gentle hills, alpine cottages, blue lakes and colorful fields, making a wide range of leisure activities possible, from winter skiing and sledding to long hiking and climbing tours in the summer. Styria offers everything the heart could desire.

Graz, the European cultural capital for 2003, is quite an attraction with its inspirational, attractive program of activities and many sights to see, such as the Graz Cathedral, the futuristic Kunsthaus contemporary art museum and the historic Schlossberg. Local delicacies such as Aussee char, select wines and the famous Styrian seed oil ensure great pleasure everywhere.
