Turracher Höhe

Carinthia is not only a popular destination for ski racers and trend sports people. The south can also be very gentle: get to know the country and its people on extensive cross-country tours on perfectly tracked trails through the picturesque winter countryside, for example, in the winter idyll of Lake Millstatt which tempts you to gentle Seeberührungen® , “lake encounters”. Experience the adventurous charm of a snowshoe hike off the beaten track. Enjoy a romantic ride in a sleigh drawn by two horses or do without two horsepower and go for a good toboggan ride. If you can’t get competitive thinking out of your mind even on your holidays, try your luck and dexterity at an ice-cold Carinthian speciality: “Eisstockschießen” (the Austrian version of curling) with the special “Eisstock” (Carinthian curling stone) .
“Nature’s playground”, Lake Weissensee, has really icy enjoyment ready for you: the 6.5 square kilometres large lake is the largest consistently freezing and prepared area of natural ice in Europe where 25 kilometres of circular ice-skating tracks, tracks for Eisstockschießen and ice-hockey areas on up to 40 centimetres thick natural ice await you. However, the great hit this winter will be ski touring where individualists can look for encounters with the winter and themselves.
