Summer holidays by the lake

From Lake Garda and Lake Wörthersee to Alpine mountain lakes

A holiday by the lake brings together many of the elements that make summer special: clear water, open landscapes, and a relaxed atmosphere between activity and rest. Falkensteiner hotels are located in some of Europe’s most beautiful lake regions – from Lake Garda and Carinthia to destinations where mountain lakes and spa landscapes shape the summer experience. While families enjoy shared days by the water, couples and groups of friends also find plenty of space for relaxed escapes.

With its new opening at Lake Garda, Falkensteiner expands its portfolio with one of Europe’s most beloved lake landscapes. Italy’s largest lake combines Mediterranean climate with an Alpine backdrop: sailing boats on the water, small towns along the shore, and cycling and hiking trails that wind through olive groves and vineyards. Between swimming spots, water sports, and Italian cuisine, summer here unfolds as a blend of activity and lifestyle.

La Vita Bella in Salò


In Carinthia around Velden, summer reveals its particularly elegant side. Lake Wörthersee, known for its distinctive turquoise colour, is one of Austria’s warmest bathing lakes and shapes the region’s atmosphere. Around the famous Schlosshotel Velden, beach clubs, boat excursions, and long evenings by the water come together with a relaxed summer lifestyle – ideal for anyone wishing to combine a lake holiday with cuisine, lifestyle, and nature.

Beyond classic lake destinations, Falkensteiner also offers wellness hotels for restorative days centred around water. In Stegersbach in Burgenland and in Bad Leonfelden in the Mühlviertel region, the focus lies on spa experiences and conscious relaxation. Generous wellness areas, pools, and tranquil relaxation zones create the perfect setting for restful escapes – especially appealing for couples, groups of friends, or anyone seeking a holiday dedicated to relaxation.

Many Alpine Falkensteiner destinations are also located close to impressive lake landscapes. Around Nassfeld, Katschberg, Montafon, and the regions of Schladming-Dachstein and Kronplatz, crystal-clear mountain lakes provide refreshing stops after hikes or bike tours. These peaceful natural places add special moments by the water to a summer in the mountains.
