Winter holiday at Nassfeld

On the border between Carinthia and Salzburg stretches the vacation region Katschberg Lieser-Maltatal, which combines the advantages of both provinces. Extensive nature, imposing mountains, a true potpourri of sports opportunities and active experiences as well as cultural events and regional specialties. Due to this wide range of offers and the hospitality of the locals, families with children feel just as comfortable as single travelers, couples or groups of friends.  Among others, the region includes the Katschberghöhe with the valley town Rennweg am Katschberg, the nature reserve Pöllatal and the Lieser Maltatal, which is also home to the artist town Gmünd. On the Salzburg side lies the Lungau Biosphere Park.

Winter transforms the Katschberg region into a snow paradise and winter sports El Dorado. Away from the slopes, it is also recommended to try something new: How about winter horseback riding, ice climbing in the Malta Valley, ski touring or an extended winter hike?
