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.

Ossiach Abbey offers cultural highlights with the "Carinthian Summer" and the "Carinthian Music Academy" (CMA). A boat trip on the lake gives you a special view of the historic building.

Mountainbiking

Carinthia, the region of lakes and beautiful mountains, lies close to the Italian and Slovenian borders. The mountain bike or road bike tours, the unique combination of mountains and lakes, the tasty Carinthian cuisine and the influences of the neighbouring countries Italy and Slovenia all make an active holiday in Carinthia an unforgettable experience.
