Winter Activities

Skiing fun

Where Alpine cattle graze peacefully on the meadows in the summer, things get lively in winter: In Bad Kleinkirchheim, a sun-spoiled ski area in the Nockberge winter region awaits, with over 100 well-groomed kilometres of pistes (Amongst them, the longest slope in Carinthia), as well as 26 modern lifts and cable cars. In the fresh winter air and with amazing views, skiing here lots of fun. Other ski areas in the ski carousel around Lake Millstatt, such as the Turracher Höhe, the ski area Katschberg, Goldeck and Mölltal Glacier promise plenty of variety.

Learn to ski

There's a first time for everything - even skiing! For all old and young guests who first have to learn/re-learn the basics of skiing, there are three professional ski schools in Bad Kleinkirchheim. Here, you are sure to find the perfect ski course for your loved ones, whether they're a beginner or returner, so that soon they can whiz down the slopes as quickly as you (or even faster). Learning is lots of fun here with excellent ski instructors. For kids aged 3 years and over, there's also the opportunity to how to handle snow and skis in a playful way at the ski kindergarten.

Winter Hiking

You can enjoy winter in an active and relaxing way at Lake Millstatt - namely on the gentle winter hikes in the idyllic snow-covered nature. The snow crunches under your feet, whilst you find inner peace walking along one of the countless trails around the lake. The white mountains surround you, the lake glistening in the sunshine, the peace that a snowy landscape has in itself. Winter hikes are relaxing and good for you. Off the trails, you can also dive a little further into the nature on a snow shoe hike in the deep snow.

Toboggan Adventure

Tobogganing is one of the particularly popular activities on a winter holiday - after all, you can go really fast on the sleds with well-polished runners and contest many a fun race within the family circle. You climb the mountain in no time at all - at the top, the warm, cosy mountain restaurant awaits, with good, hearty Carinthian cuisine, such as Kaiserschmarrn (sugared and shredded pancakes) or Brettljause and a warm cup of cocoa. Then it's time to gain momentum and go back down again, curve after curve. Close to Döbriach, the Alpengasthof Bergfried natural toboggan run with a length of 1.9km, as well as three other toboggan runs around the Lake Millstatt await.

Ski Tours

Winter at Lake Millstatt means endless activity. Those who've had enough of skiing and tobogganing, can go on a long horse-drawn carriage ride through the beautiful winter nature. A romantic experience for couples - but equally exciting for kids. In addition to this, there’s ice-skating and curling on the winter activity programme. Whether you choose pirouetting or try to push the ice stock close to the “Daube”, both are a lot of fun. For adults, cross-country skiing on the Lake Millstatt is also a special experience. Glide gently through the nature and enjoy exercise that is beneficial for the body and mind.
