WÖRTHERSEE

In winter, the beautiful Wörthersee presents itself from its quiet, contemplative side. Its picturesque view, surrounded by snow-covered treetops and white mountain peaks, invites you to take long walks along the shore. At dusk, when clouds of mist settle over the lake, a mystical atmosphere can often be experienced. In the evening, the glittering lights of the Christmas illuminations dance on the surface of the water, while the scent of mulled wine wafts from the small huts of the Advent markets. Sporty guests can look forward to numerous ski resorts nearby. Ice skating, tobogganing, winter hiking or wellness is also possible in many places.
