Summer on three lakes: Wörthersee, Faak and Ossiach

Carinthia is a land of lakes, and from Panoramaweg three of the most beautiful are a short drive away: Lake Wörthersee, Lake Faak and Lake Ossiach. Each has its own character.

Lake Wörthersee

Wörthersee is one of the warmest Alpine lakes and lovely for swimming in high summer. In Velden you can stroll along the lakeside promenade, and the lidos around the lake have lawns, jetties and a kiosk.

Lake Faak

Lake Faak is famous for its turquoise water beneath the Mittagskogel. It is smaller and quieter, with a wooded island in the middle. Perfect for a beach day with children.

Lake Ossiach

Lake Ossiach, below the Gerlitzen, is more laid-back. You can hire a boat, cycle round the lake or take the gondola up the Gerlitzen to look down on the lakes.

Back at the chalet

After a day at the lake, it is quiet at our place. The kids play in the garden, the dog dozes in the shade and the barbecue is lit on the terrace. If you want to come in July or August, enquire early.
