Fun in the sun

Firstly, the favourable climate with Adriatic lows to the south and mighty clouds to the north of the Alps provide regular snowfall.

And secondly, snow machines all over the ski areas can help out if the sun becomes too strong.

Austria’s southernmost province also gets its fair share of the sun in winter – above-average hours of sunshine make skiing more like sunbathing in Carinthia’s mountains.

Variety is what all the Carinthian ski areas have in common: black runs for speeding, cruising sections for recovering, wide family slopes for learning, powder pistes for practising and mogul fields for experimenting.

The greatest temptation is to be found at the side of the slopes, however, but who would really want to resist the traditional ski chalets and inviting sun decks, mulled cider and typical specialities, Carinthian hospitality and vibrant atmosphere.
