Summer Vibes in Carinthia – Active Holiday in Summer
Out of the Heat Up into the Mountains
When it gets too hot in the city, the Carinthian Nockberge Mountains beckon with cool forests, quiet paths through high moors, and crystal-clear mountain streams.
While hiking over endless alpine meadows or doing yoga with a panoramic view, you’ll find your personal summer flow. And if you like, you can dive in afterwards – into Lake Millstatt, Lake Brennsee, or Lake Afritzer – all reachable in less than 30 minutes by car from the holiday village in Bad Kleinkirchheim.
“Each season has its own rhythm.
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.
