Skiing fun in the Nockberge mountains

Where alpine cattle graze peacefully on the meadows in Bad Kleinkirchheim in summer, things get really busy in winter: 103 kilometres of perfectly groomed slopes (including the longest slope in Carinthia) and 24 modern lifts and cable cars await you in the 5 sun-drenched ski areas of the Nockberge region ski carousel. Skiing here is great fun in the clear winter air and with fantastic views. Other ski areas around Lake Millstätter See, such as the Katschberg ski area and the Mölltal Glacier, promise plenty of variety.

Learn to ski

There's a first time for everything - including skiing, of course! There are three professional ski schools in Bad Kleinkirchheim for all guests young and old who need to (re)learn the basics of the slopes. Here you are sure to find the right ski course for your loved ones, whether they are beginners or returning skiers, so that they can whizz down the slopes as fast as you (or faster). The training here is fun with excellent ski instructors. For children from the age of 3, there is also the opportunity to learn how to handle snow and skis in a playful way in the ski kindergarten.

Advent of lights.

Advent at the Familiengut Burgstaller in Döbriach is a very special time.
