Winteractivities

Our holiday home is located in Seltschach at the foot of the Karawanken, where you are guaranteed a thick layer of snow in winter. There is plenty to see and do in this beautiful winter landscape, even in the coldest months of the year. Allow us to give you some suggestions for an unforgettable holiday in this beautiful area:

 

Slopes

There are kilometers long slopes around Seltschach, where you can make beautiful challenging descents through the deep snow. In total there are more than 30 ski areas in Carinthia and Osttirol with a total of more than 800 kilometers of groomed slopes, many kilometers of pristine slopes for lovers of deep snow and numerous mogul slopes and half pipes.

The slopes are located on the south side of the Austrian Alps, so you will always ski in the sun. The ski areas in Carinthia have 100 hours more sunshine than other destinations. Isn't that wonderful?

 

Snowparks

In addition to skiing, you can also visit one of the snow parks in the vicinity or have fun on the breathtaking freeride areas. Not in the mood for skiing? Then you can opt for cross-country skiing, tobogganing, ice skating or ski touring.

 

Dreiländereck 

The Dreiländereck ski area is within walking distance of our holiday home. The area is not too large and therefore ideal for families with (small) children. The more than 17 kilometers long, blue, red and black slopes, which are connected by seven lifts, make the area well-organized. Because of this, you will always come back down to the right place. There is also a special cross-country trail. Feel like tobogganing down the mountain? Take the lift up, take your sled and then walk to the Mitterehütte where a toboggan run starts. Enjoy about 8.5 km of slopes and mountain trails down by tobogganing. A great fun adventure, small children can go down on the sled together with mom or dad. www.3laendereck.at

 

Nassfeld

Ready for a larger ski area? Then you should get in the car and drive to the mountain station at Nassfeld. With no less than 110 kilometers of slopes, this is the largest ski area in Carinthia, which is only a 30-minute drive from our holiday home. Of course you will also find sunny slopes, hospitality and delicious food here. www.nassfeld.at

Villach 

A visit to the beautiful city of Villach is definitely recommended during your holiday. The Hauptplatz has been car-free for years. The square is the beating heart of Villach, with nice shops (Atrio is recommended for shoppers), hotels, cafes and restaurants with facades in different pastel shades. The city has a beautiful historic center, many sights to see and is given shape through its location on the three-country point of Italy, Slovenia and Austria. Therefore, you will feel that Italy is very close-by when you are in the city. 

Wörthersee 

Not a fan of buzzing cities? Go for a walk along the shore of the Wörthersee and enjoy the beautiful view of the surrounding mountains.
