Snow-covered mountain peaks, glittering landscapes and pure action – Villach is your winter wonderland.
Winter holiday in Carinthia
Ski and snowboard: off to the piste!
The Gerlitzen Alpe awaits skiers and snowboarders with family-friendly pistes and cool descents. For those who prefer a more leisurely pace: ski tours through the fantastic winter landscape are a must here! The free ski bus takes you comfortably from Hotel City to the valley station of the Kanzelbahn cable car – off into the snow!
Cross-country skiing like the pros
Cross-country skiing fans strap on their skis in the Villach Alpen Arena. The trail leads right past the Olympic ski jump. Whether beginner or pro – here everyone can experience the magic of gliding through the snow-covered countryside.
Snowshoeing & winter hiking: Pure nature
Switch off and take a deep breath: recharge your batteries on a snowshoe hike on the Dobratsch or in the border triangle. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, combine a winter hike to the Hundsmarhof farm with regional delicacies – enjoyment and nature go hand in hand here.
Tobogganing: Thrills for the whole family
A rapid descent down the mountain – tobogganing fun guaranteed! Perfect for all those who want to experience the snow with lots of fun and little effort.
Ice skating: In the thick of it instead of just being there
From Hotel City, simply cross the Drau bridge and onto the ice on Villach’s town hall square – ice skates can be hired on site. When the Carinthian lakes freeze over? Ice skating on natural ice is the ultimate winter experience!
