Escape the Christmas rush
and enjoy the winter tranquility in Bad Kleinkirchheim
Experience a truly relaxed Christmas in the mountains
Have you ever considered traveling for Christmas to escape the usual holiday chaos?
Many people yearn for tranquility, but often find only stress at home…
Company parties, a family celebration on December 24th, another on the 25th, and in between, you rush from shop to shop to get last-minute gifts.
In St. Oswald near Bad Kleinkirchheim, time moves differently. Here, enjoy a relaxing holiday over Christmas, far away from the hustle and bustle of the cities.
Imagine this: Outside, the freshly fallen snow glistens; inside, the tiled stove crackles, where you’ve just added fresh wood, spreading cozy warmth.
Just a few days of peace, nature, and time for yourself. You can sleep in, enjoy a leisurely breakfast, and shape the day at your own pace. Perhaps you’ll take a winter walk through the snow-covered forests of the Biosphere Park, head straight to the Brunnach slopes on your skis, or snuggle up on the sofa with a good book and simply enjoy the quiet.
Christmas short break in Carinthia
Recharge your energy on a short mountain getaway
Even if you only have a few days off, a short Christmas getaway in Bad Kleinkirchheim is worthwhile. An extended weekend around the holidays can refresh body and mind. Use the holidays for a shared break in the snowy Nockberge mountains.
Carinthia, located in the sunny south of Austria, treats its guests even in winter to an above-average number of sunny hours. This means you can often hike through the snow under a bright blue sky or enjoy the winter sun on your apartment balcony and soak up some Vitamin D.
A short change of scenery over Christmas helps you gain distance from everyday life. The clear mountain air in the Biosphere Park, the tranquility in the small holiday village, and the leisurely pace away from the city have a relaxing effect after just a few hours.
I often observe how our guests arrive:
stressed, tired, with a head full of appointments.
And sometimes, a single winter morning up here is all it takes. A peaceful breakfast. The view of the snow. The first walk through the forest. Suddenly, they breathe differently. Slower. Deeper. A Christmas holiday often has a longer-lasting effect than you might think. Perhaps because for the first time in a long while, you truly feel yourself again. Perhaps because you truly live the moment.
And upon departure, guests often say the same thing:
“That was exactly what I needed.”

The market smells wonderfully of cinnamon, mulled cider, roasted almonds, and chestnuts. Just right to get into the mood for the quiet season. If you like it cozy and warm, you can relax in one of the thermal spas of Bad Kleinkirchheim. Sweat in the sauna or float in the warm thermal water.
And of course, there are also opportunities to get active. Directly from the holiday village, you can set off on winter hikes or snowshoe tours – through the snow-covered forests of the biosphere park, accompanied by nothing but the crunch of snow under your feet.
