In spring, I’m drawn out to the alpine pastures – when the last snow melts and the first warm sunbeams warm my skin. In summer, I enjoy the shady forests and streams, where you can cool off with your dog on holiday.
Autumn holidays in Bad Kleinkirchheim bring colours you’ll never forget – and in winter, I love the silence on snowshoes away from the slopes. For me, an active holiday in the Carinthian mountains means: being outdoors, feeling, coming alive.
