Styria - "Cross-country-trail Quality Seal of Styria"
Guaranteed cross-country skiing quality awaits winter sports fans in Styria under the "Steiermärkische Loipengütesiegel" (Cross-country-trail Quality Seal Styria). The seal can only be awarded with regards to the state-specific criteria and only from the state government of Styria. These criteria include e.g. reliability for snow, perfectly prepared trails including skating-style tracks, security measures and a respective infrastructure.
The Styrian Quality Seal is awarded to the trail operator for a duration of 3 years, once the criteria are fulfilled. The operator therefore ensures that the meeting of the criteria is upheld for the entire duration of the seal period. Should massive changes occur, an annual inspection evaluates if all criteria are still correctly met.
