Gerlitzen Alpe mountain experience
Here Carinthia lies at your feet
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.
Endless distant views. The Gerlitzen Alpe rises directly on the northern shore of Lake Ossiach See. The Kanzelbahn cable car and the Gerlitzen summit cable car also run from there to almost 2,000 metres above sea level. Can you see it yet? The most beautiful panorama in Carinthia opens up below you. Almost the entire lake district lies at your feet. Endless ‘long-distance viewing’ is the order of the day.
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.

For sports enthusiasts
Important tips for safe hiking
BEFORE THE HIKE
• Adapt the plan to your ability and the ability of your companions (walking time, metres in altitude, difficulty, orientation, fitness, family-friendliness).
• Use a hiking map (scale 1:25,000) to find out about the start and finish points, route, route numbers and special features of the tour. Can you read a map in an emergency?
• Get an up-to-date weather report the day before and before setting off. Also ask the locals, who are better placed to judge the regional weather. Postpone your plans if the weather conditions are uncertain or extreme.
• Only set off on your hike with suitable equipment. ( backpack, functional clothing, suitable outdoor shoes with treaded soles, sun-, rain and cold protection, orientation material such as map, compass, GPS, mobile phone, first aid kit, etc.).
• Take enough food and drink with you. Drink enough, but preferably no alcohol.
• Leave information at your accommodation about where you are going and when you plan to return.
DURING THE HIKE
• Start your hike at a leisurely tempo and be considerate of less fit fellow travellers.
• During the breaks, check your location on the hiking map and determine your next prominent route destination.
• Never leave the marked paths and do not regard forest paths and forest roads as public hiking trails from the outset.
• Protect flora and fauna! Take your rubbish back with you and leave no more than your footprints.
• Always keep your distance from the cows and their calves! Do not feed, disturb or stroke wild and grazing animals!
• Dogs on a lead! Avoid grazing areas with suckler cows. In case of danger from the cattle, let go of the lead and get to safety yourself!
• Please observe the special prohibitions and instructions in nature and European protected areas.
• On scree slopes and slope crossings, take great care not to kick any stones loose!
• Also watch out for signs of bad weather and, if in doubt, cancel the tour IMMEDIATELY.
• In the case of accidents, keep calm and inform the mountain rescue service via other hikers, mobile phone, etc.
• Euro emergency call: 112, mountain rescue: 140
AFTER THE HIKE
• Contact your accommodation again.
• Help to improve the quality! Inform your host or the local tourist office about any deficiencies (markings, signposts, obstructions, danger spots, etc.) on the tour.
