General presentation
Lacs de Carinthie
Southern region of lakes, soft towns, nearby mountains and summer swimming around Wörthersee and Villach.
The discovery of the Carinthia Lakes revolves around Wörthersee, Klagenfurt and Villach. The stay thus alternates between the shores and the lakes, the mountain reliefs, the urban life and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: very much needed in summer and seasonal bathing atmosphere. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake
Wörthersee
The Wörthersee concentrates the art of living lake of Carinthia: turquoise water in good weather, swimming pontoons, ancient villas and villages like Velden or Pörtschach. The shore takes all its meaning to the beautiful days, when the boats connect the beaches and the cafes remain open late.
Town or village
Klagenfurt
Klagenfurt offers an urban base located between the Renaissance squares in the centre and the banks of the Wörthersee. The Lindwurmbrunnen, the inner courtyards and the museums take half a day, before reaching quickly the beaches, boats or viewpoints around the lake.
City and mountain
Villach
Villach stretches along the Drave, with an easy to travel center and mountains already close to the horizon. Its strength comes from possible departures: Carinthia lakes, Warmbad thermal baths, Gail valley or trains to Italy and Slovenia.
