Glittering lake magic at the foot of the Gerlitzen Alpe

Vacation in Treffen at lake Ossiacher See

Treffen impresses with its exceptional location between mountains and lakes: the majestic Gerlitzen Alpe and the warm waters of Lake Ossiacher See and Lake Afritzer See are just a stone's throw away. This makes the municipality the ideal starting point for unforgettable adventures - whether in summer or winter.

While the Gerlitzen Alpe offers fantastic hiking trails and huts in the warmer months, it is a family-friendly ski resort in winter. The city of Villach is just a 15-minute drive from Treffen and is perfect for shopping, culinary delights and sightseeing.
