Move Explore – Active Holiday in Spring

Lace Up Your Hiking Boots Up to Carinthia’s Mountains

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.

Golden Hike – Active Holiday in Autumn

Autumn Colors on the Paths Through the Nockberge Mountains

When the forest changes color and breath becomes visible in the morning, the golden time in Carinthia begins. Hikes in the Carinthian mountains lead through rustling leaves, past mushroom spots, wild herbs, and yellow-glowing larches.

A picnic in the middle of the forest, the quiet crackle when a deer sneaks through the undergrowth during a yoga session…

An autumn that remains in memory – quiet, clear, very close.
