This was an adventurous and fun experience for the whole family! The closest big city is Graz and the drive to the base of the mountain is stunning, from where we can take a the cable car up the mountain! I must say that this was one of the steepest climbs in a cable car I have done! very exciting and gorgeous views of the valley below. The cable car take up to 7 to 10 minutes! Once up there, lots of gorgeous walks, disc golf and the best part for us was the summer toboggan rides, you will want to go on it more than once! There are about three restaurants/ bars up there and it gives the right amount of choices for a small snack/meal. Weather was gorgeous and a real treat from the heat in Vienna!

On a hot summer day we (incl. the dog!) thoroughly enjoyed taking the cable car up to the mountain and doing some walking up there. The views are very beautiful. We also had a lunch in one of the many restaurants that can be found there. Next time I would, however, skip the cable car and walk up!

I went to the Schöckl mountain with bus 250 from Graz, Jakominiplatz. The journey takes around 35 minutes. During my visit there were few people and some cows at the top :)
It offers good view of surroundings, also the city of Graz is visible in the distance.

We visited Schockl on a slightly hazy day, but it was obvious that very nice views could be had from some vantage points if the weather was clear.
We also had lunch at one of the two restaurants at the top of the mountain. Taking lunch on an outside terrace on a mountain top is certainly a refreshing experience.
The downside for me was the herds of grazing cows we encountered while at the top of the mountian. Watching out to avoid stepping in cow dung and swatting away the flies that it attracts is not part of an alpine environment. I'm originally from Canada and know that cows do not belong on mountains!
I can't help but wonder what wildlife that is actually native to the alpine habitat might have been in evidence were it not for the cows and their clanging bells.
Were it not for the cows, I would not hesitate to give this attraction a "Very Good" rating in spite of the haze on the day we visited.

The 2 days we were in Graz was rain filled. Yet we ventured to Schockl and it didn't disappoint. We were probably the only ones there. It was asif they were open exclusively for us! We went to this cafe up top where the staff was superb. Beautiful and very friendly. The french fries there were thick cut and good to taste but what stole my heart was the chocolate cake. Best. Cake. Ever! The view was magnificent as well and they had a toboggan run downhill which was sadly closed due to the rains so I missed that one. Overall I'd love to go back in the summer when the sun is shining to fully appreciate Schockl. Do visit when in Graz.

Summer tobogan and the nearby climbing games for kids are really fantastic - the family may easily spend 1-3 hours there and even you may eat there somting tasty. Don't miss it if you are travelling in that direction.

Always a memorable experience. I've been there at least a dozen times. It's very easy to take the bus from Graz. The hike up is not too strenuous and the Seibahn is not expensive and well worth it for the view.

The Schoekl mountain is very beautiful, you can either hike up or take the cable car.
In summer there are cows walking around with their bells on, a nice sight for tourists, and in winter when you look out from the top of the mountain you are often above the clouds and it looks magical. Very beautiful.

after climbing the castle at Reigersburg, I wasn't sure what this climb would be. with that in mind, I wasn't there for the view. the journey was the event. everything else was icing on the cake. whether you take the cable car or trek on foot, this mountain has something to offer everyone. majestic? yes. adventurous? sure. check out the website because there is much to do. as we descended in late afternoon, the sky was filled with para sailors. the people is spent my time with made the day. the schöckl was an awesome place to be.
