The geographical center of Carinthia

Vacation in Arriach

Arriach is located in the middle of Carinthia, an idyllic village just twenty kilometres north of Villach. It is the geographical centre of Austria's southernmost province.

At 900 meters above sea level, the Slow Food Village Arriach is the home of indulgence. Regional specialties can be sampled with a view of the gentle peaks of the Nockberge mountains.

The impressive Wöllaner Nock and the imposing Gerlitzen Alpe are nestled in unspoiled nature - perfect destinations that can be explored on foot, by mountain bike or on skis.

  • Hike to the center of Carinthia: A picturesque hiking trail leads you to the Kandelaber spruce and to the "heart" of Carinthia, a red platform with a magnificent panoramic view.
  • Pure piste magic: the Gerlitzen Alpe ski area is just five kilometers from Arriach - perfect for unforgettable family adventures in the snow.
  • Discover curiosities: At the Klösterle valley station, guests can marvel at the world's largest hiking boot with a gigantic shoe size of 1025.
  • Long-distance hiking with pleasure: Stages 17 and 18 of the Alpe-Adria-Trail, which leads from the Grossglockner to the sea, run directly through Arriach.
