Discover the Green Heart: The Top 10 Destinations in Styria

(and how to get there relaxed)

Back to Blog

Styria is not called the "Green Heart of Austria" for nothing. From the eternal glaciers in the north to the gentle vineyards in the south, our province offers a variety that is unparalleled.

But anyone wanting to reach the hidden gems often faces a challenge: Public transport rarely goes directly there, and those who drive themselves miss the view out of the window.

As your local mobility partner, we not only show you the top 10 places but also take you there – privately, comfortably, and entirely according to your schedule.

01

The South Styrian Wine Road

The South Styrian Wine Road

It is often referred to as the 'Austrian Tuscany'. Winding roads snake through steep slopes, lined with poplars and world-class wineries that are famous worldwide for their Sauvignon Blanc.

Shuttle Tip

The Wine Road is there to be enjoyed. Book a driver so you can taste without hesitation at the Buschenschank taverns. We take you safely from winemaker to winemaker.

02

Graz Clock Tower & Schlossberg

Graz Clock Tower & Schlossberg

The classic and the landmark of the city. The view over the red roofs of Graz Old Town (UNESCO World Heritage Site) is an absolute must. Whether on foot, by lift, or by funicular – the city lies at your feet from up there.

Shuttle Tip

Start your Styria tour directly in Graz. We bring you to the Schlossberg lift and wait below to drive you seamlessly to the next destination.

03

Dachstein & Skywalk

Dachstein & Skywalk

In the north of Styria, eternal ice awaits. The Dachstein Glacier is spectacular. The 'Skywalk' viewing platform and the 'Stairway to Nothingness' offer pure thrills and a panorama reaching as far as Slovenia.

From Graz, it is a longer drive (approx. 2h). In our comfortable limousines, time flies – with Wi-Fi and comfort.

04

Zotter Chocolate Factory & Riegersburg

A perfect day trip: First climb the imposing Riegersburg on the volcanic rock, then head to the famous chocolate tasting at Zotter, where you experience live how chocolate is made.

No searching for parking on busy weekends. We let you out directly in front of the entrance.

05

The Green Lake (Grüner See) in Tragöß

The Green Lake (Grüner See) in Tragöß

A natural phenomenon made famous worldwide by social media. The crystal-clear, emerald-green water against the rugged mountain backdrop looks almost surreal. The lake is most beautiful in early summer.

Shuttle Tip

The lake is located somewhat hidden. With our local service, you arrive relaxed at the parking lot and can start the hike immediately.

Admont Abbey
