Surfing and sailing

Due to our mild climate and pleasant water temperatures, lake Faaker See and lake Ossiacher See are ideal waters for surfing and sailing. The two Carinthian swimming lakes not only offer a fantastic scenery, but also perfect conditions for anyone who wants to glide across the water with wind power. Whether sailing or windsurfing - both beginners and experts will find ideal conditions here for their next adventure on the water.

Use the wind as a natural drive, put your sense of balance to the test and glide across the crystal-clear waters towards the sun. Learning by doing is the name of the game at our surfing and sailing school on lake Ossiacher See. The experienced instructors offer sailing and surfing courses for all levels - from absolute beginners to advanced surfers who want to refine their technique.

The right equipment is available directly on the spot, so you can start your water sports adventure without any lengthy preparation. Experience the fascination of wind, water and freedom in the region.
