Cultural highlights and family experiences on Lake Ossiacher See

Vacation in Ossiach

Picturesque Ossiach on the southern shore of the emerald green lake is a popular vacation destination at any time of year. Here you can enjoy a wide range of leisure activities in the midst of impressive nature - be it on the water, hiking or cycling.

The gentle wind from the nearby Gerlitzen Alpe provides ideal conditions for sailing and SUP adventures. A special highlight for families is the Ossiach adventure pool with a 93-metre-long water slide.
