Gerlitzen Alpe mountain experience
Action or relaxation? On the Gerlitzen Alpe you will not only find a hiking, paragliding and relaxation paradise, but also one of the most beautiful panoramas in the country. Anyone who stands up here will see Carinthia with different eyes. As a popular excursion mountain, the Gerlitzen Alpe offers a wonderful mix for guests of all ages.
Due to renovation work, the Moser and Pöllingerbahn will be in operation alongside the Kanzelbahn in summer 2026. From the drop-off point at the Pöllingerhütte, an easy hike takes around 45 minutes to reach the summit.
Endless distant views.
The Gerlitzen Alpe rises directly on the northern shore of Lake Ossiach. From there, the Kanzelbahn cable car takes you to the Kanzelhöhe adventure park. In summer 2026, the journey will continue via the Moser and Pöllingerbahn cable cars to the Pöllingerhütte. From there, an easy 45-minute hike leads to the summit at just under 2,000 metres above sea level.
Mountains, panorama, magical light. Awaiting you are grandiose circular trails, many rustic alpine huts, the Kanzelhöhe adventure arena with the Kids Bike Park and the legendary PROlitzen Trail for MTB pros.
Best of Thermik. Would you like to experience the Carinthian mountain and lake landscape from a bird's eye view? Perfect! The Gerlitzen Alpe is considered the most beautiful flying mountain in Austria. The take-off site is right next to the mountain station of the Gerlitzen summit lift. Exciting even for non-flyers: watching the paragliders. Numerous providers ensure an unforgettable experience.
