Alpine Skiing. Enjoy Winter on a Pair of Skis
There’s no better place to sense the joy of living than Carinthia. A skiing holiday in Austria’s southernmost state means active enjoyment and pure joie de vivre; it means broad pistes with guaranteed snow on the one hand, with snow parks and breathtaking freeride areas on the other. There couldn’t be a better backdrop: a diverse mountain landscape with lovely views interspersed with frozen lakes and a mild winter climate with an exceptional number of sunny days. These are ideal conditions for moments of winter joy off the pistes as well. Carinthia is located in the tri-border area of Austria, Italy and Slovenia, which means that the southern joy of living and the culinary influence of the Alps-Adriatic region are brought to life.

Austrias first online bookable ski-tour trekking: Nockberge-Trail in Carinthia
A new lead product for winter in Carinthia is the ski-tour trekking on the Nockberge Trail, which connects the five ski areas of Katschberg, Innerkrems, Turrach, Falkert and Bad Kleinkirchheim/St. Oswald with one another. The Nockberge Trail is a multi-day ski crossing which aims to offer enjoyment and well-being. The whole tour takes four days and it’s a good choice for casual ski tourers who have a good knowledge of ski touring and are in good physical condition, but who aren’t interested in exploring alpine passages and who enjoy the amenities of comfortable hotels and wellness resorts.

Southern family happiness in Carinthia, the winter paradise
The Carinthian formula for happiness for families is child’s play: Because Austria’s southernmost province makes winter dreams come true. It’s child’s play for aspiring ski stars to learn their first turns on wide, superbly groomed slopes. Elsewhere, exuberant toboggan runs, exciting excursion destinations and winter wellness await for your relaxation. When heavy snowflakes dance from the mountain peaks all the way down into the valleys and cover Carinthia in white, the south invites you to enjoy unforgettable winter moments for young and old alike.

A Sunny Winter Holiday on the South Side of the Alps
The ski pistes are especially sunny on the southern side of the Austrian Alps. This is one more reason why Carinthia is becoming ever more popular as a winter sport destination, especially for families. The sunny pistes combined with a helping of southern hospitality, rounded off with Carinthian Alps-Adriatic cuisine, make for a perfect winter holiday. Of course, the plentiful sunshine can also be seen in the numbers. The ski areas of Carinthia register about 100 hours of more sun in the winter months than destinations north of the Alpine main ridge. This is measured with the Nassfeld winter sundial, which is located directly at the mountain station. In winter, Carinthia is the biggest sun terrace in the Alps - what a unique gift from Mother Nature!
