Southern lifestyle: 5 reasons why Carinthia is your perfect holiday destination

Why climb the highest peaks when you can find paradise on the southern side of the Alps?
While Tirol impresses with its steep cliffs, Carinthia scores points with a quality of life that is otherwise only known from the south.

Here are five reasons why your next holiday with us in Carinthia is simply unbeatable:

​1. Mediterranean climate instead of harsh mountain air 

Carinthia enjoys the climatic advantages of the southern side of the Alps.
This means significantly more sunshine and milder temperatures for you than in the often unpredictable north.
In Carinthia the T-shirt weather arrives earlier and the golden autumn lasts longer.

2. Swimming lakes with drinking water quality (and warmth!)

In Tyrol, people often just admire the lakes – in Carinthia, they jump right in. With over 200 lakes that reach
temperatures of up to 28°C in summer, we offer you a true “Riviera feeling” in the heart of the Alps.
And the best part: the water is so clean you could drink it. 

3. Alpine-Adria culinary: The best of three countries

​Carinthian kitchen is a delicious fusion.We combine Austrian down-to-earthness with
the lightness of Italy and the refinement of Slovenia. 
Whether it’s freshly caught fish, Carinthian cheese noodles, or a glass of wine from the
local winemaker – With us, holidays simply taste more diverse.

4. Hiking for connoisseurs instead of extreme mountaineering

​Tyrol is steep, Carinthia is gentle. Our striking peaks offer a unique panorama,
which can be explored without professional equipment.
Ideal for families, leisure cyclists and anyone who wants to experience reaching
the summit without stress, but with a panoramic view.

5. The “Dolce Vita” of the alps

You can feel the proximity to the south not only in the weather, but also in the mentality.
In Carinthia, there is a relaxed warmth and a laid-back lifestyle. Here, hospitality is less “quick”
and more practiced with a touch of southern ease, which immediately rubs off on our guests.
