It’s the mix that does it: Sometimes contemplative and reflective, sometimes racy and sporty. But always so very good for you! If you’re looking to enjoy the winter, then the Carinthian Nockberge Mountains can offer you a wider range of options than almost any other region in the Alps. En route to Klammer-style skiing prowess? Then the ski schools in the Nockberge Mountains will offer you professional support. Ski kindergartens, childcare facilities and a sophisticated system of courses will soon turn tinies on the slopes into zippy experts. And there are special packages designed to get adult returners enthusiastically carving and curving too.

But what would the snow be without its equivalent in liquid form? Scarcely any other winter sports centre in the world so uniquely combines its skiing and snow kingdom with its thermal temples the way the Carinthian Nockberge Mountains do. This all-round enjoyment programme is rounded off by a range of hotels richly blessed with stars, plus a wide range of holiday apartments and cosy bed and breakfast options. In the evening lounges and restaurants exert their attraction – sometimes quaint, sometimes hearty, sometimes bearing “chef’s hat” awards. Live music, discos and bars will get even slouches on their feet.
