There’s a different pace at Lake Wörthersee in winter. A delightful calm envelops what could be referred to as "Austria’s most popular bathtub", a summer hotspot and popular stage for lifestyle. A special atmosphere awaits visitors throughout Advent, when the Christmas programme in Velden, Pörtschach, Maria Wörth, Klagenfurt and on the Pyramidenkogel puts everyone into the festive spirit. The individual locations can easily be reached by shuttle or boat. The closest ski area is the Gerlitzen, Carinthia’s sun terrace which promises fun on the slopes for the whole family. And variety is guaranteed with the Wörthersee Plus Card Winter, which includes discounts and tips on excursion destinations, guided tours, etc. Top Tip: Visit the Werzer bathhouse in Pörtschach, where you can experience the unique mountain and lake panorama even in winter.
Discover Wörthersee
Just a few kilometres from Lake Wörthersee lies the Carnica Region Rosental, which has established itself as a popular excursion and holiday destination for families and to which the Carnica bee gave its name. The Bodental Valley is the winner here in terms of popularity, with the mighty peaks of the Karawanken creating a breathtaking backdrop for ski touring, tobogganing, cross-country skiing, winter and snowshoe hiking, but also for those first turns in the snow. Also a bonus when it comes to winter activities in the region: you are almost always above the fog line here and there are traditional inns to take good care of your physical well-being with their regional delicacies. Top Tip: A hike to the mountain lake Meerauge.
