Winter at the Lake

In winter too, the region is on the move. A winter walk through the snow-covered landscape not only gets one’s circulation going. Once lake Wörthersee has transformed into a shimmering smooth ice-surface, fans of ice-skating can glide softly through the clear air. Alpine skiing guests have a vast choice among the most beautiful ski resorts in the surrounding area (Gerlitzen, Bad Kleinkirchheim, Turrach etc.)  Lots of sun and fun on the slopes await families as well as leisurely skiers. Thermal spas in near vicinity (Villach, Bad Bleiberg or Bad Kleinkirchheim) provide all amenities to soothe tired muscles after a sporty day in the snow.

Tip: the following destinations are open all year round:
Reptile Zoo Nockalm, Gurk Cathedral, Landesmuseum Kärnten, Museum of Modern Art, Porsche car museum, Villacher Alpine Road, Kranzelbinder Alpin-Art-Gallery, Natur and Flower Adventure Park, Happ Reptile Zoo.

Fancy some hot chocolate and a piece of delicious home-made cake after a nice winter walk in Pörtschach? Cafe Wienerroither will offer everything your “hungry” heart desires.
