Winter Holiday at Wörthersee
The Wörthersee region is a popular vacation destination - even during the cold season. Whether snuggled up and strolling along the promenade snacking on roasted chestnuts or during the time of the Christmas markets, that spread a wonderfully traditional atmosphere. When a thin layer of ice begins to form on the lake and the first snowflakes fall down to the valley, winter has reached its most beautiful point. Due to its location between various mountains, the Wörthersee region is a perfect starting point for winter sports enthusiasts. Winter lovers can visit a different ski area every day, ski down the slopes, go tobogganing, snow hiking or cross-country skiing. But the winter season naturally also invites you to relax in the spa area, cool off in the cold air after a visit to the sauna and relax in the warm water.
