Ski tours on the Nockberge Trail
The Nockberge Trail, Austria's first ski touring trail that can be booked online, connects the five ski resorts of Katschberg, Innerkrems, Turrach, Falkert and Bad Kleinkirchheim/St. Oswald. It is suitable for leisurely ski tourers who have a good knowledge of this sport, are in good physical condition, but do not want to encounter high-alpine passages. For each of the five daily stages, up to six hours of walking time should be planned. Since lifts and cable cars are available in some parts, you can save yourself some meters in altitude on each stage. According to the motto: Start when, where, with whom and how you want.

Ice skating on Lake Weissensee
In winter, some of Carinthia's lakes freeze into mirror-smooth open-air skating rinks, where ice skaters, field hockey players and ice shooters cavort. Austria's southernmost province is also home to the largest frozen natural ice surface in Europe - Lake Weissensee. The traditional Alternative Dutch 11 Cities Tour is always held here in January - the king's discipline runs over 200 kilometers.

Sun skiing from mid-March
The supreme discipline under the southern winter sun is sun skiing from mid-March until the end of the winter season. This is particularly celebrated in the Nassfeld ski area, which is transformed into the largest sun terrace in the Alps. A unique natural event in Warmbad Villach finally heralds the arrival of spring. Near the Kärnten Therme, at the foot of the Dobratsch, the so-called Maibachl begins to bubble up as the snow melts. Near the main spring, two pools have formed in the middle of the forest, where you can bathe in the thermal water, which is up to 28°C, in the open air. The water has a healing effect.
