Our tip for hiking with children in the mountains

Hiking with children is a great way to explore the mountains and spend time as a family at the same time. Of course, it is important to take into account the age and previous experience of the children in order to choose the right route.

The Alpe-Adria-Trail is suitable for children aged 12 and over. Whole stages are too long for children, but parts of it are easily doable: For example, stage 11 (artists' town of Gmünd - Seeboden at Lake Millstatt) in the opposite direction up to Sommeregg Castle. This gives you a fixed destination, which significantly increases children's motivation when hiking in the mountains.

With smaller children (but also older ones) you can explore the ‘Bergwasser’ aquatrail at Nassfeld. Here, children can experience nature up close and playfully learn about the element of water as well as the flora and fauna of the mountains. The aquatrail is 1.5 km long and open in the summer months and early autumn. The trail can be reached by gondola, which is free with the Holiday +Card all guests receive during check-in.

Active summer holiday in the mountains

Whether as a family, couple or in a group: a summer holiday in the mountains offers a variety of possibilities for everyone. Active holidaymakers get one hundred percent of their money's worth in the Carinthian Alps: from extensive hiking or mountain bike tours to extraordinary activities like paragliding. If you are more of a "water sports" type, how about canoeing on the Drau or stand-up paddling on Lake Weissensee? Take advantage of the many water sports activities in Carinthia's waters to cool off and have fun.

Those who prefer to relax in the water can do so in the healing springs of the Maibachl in Villach Warmbad. The thermal water, which is around 29°C warm, can be used for an extensive bath in the middle of the forest, especially after the snow melts or heavy rainfall.

Winter holiday in the mountains

Skiers and snowboarders hear only one thing when they hear "holiday in the mountains": winter sports! If you prefer to spend your holiday on snow-covered downhill slopes during a ski holiday, on extensive cross country tours in the forest or ski tours in deep snow, you are best off at our EuroParcs Hermagor - Nassfeld and Pressegger See. These two holiday parks are the best starting point for your winter adventure. Book a place for you and your children in the ski school or a variety of guided tours and lessons for different winter sports. At both holiday parks there are drying rooms for skis and ski boots.

Those who like to spend their winter holiday in a more relaxed way can enjoy a dreamlike wellness holiday in the mountains. The AlpinSpa at EuroParcs Hermagor - Nassfeld has several saunas, an outdoor and indoor pool with a view of the mountains and a broad range of massages. Guests of EuroParcs Pressegger See are also welcome at the AlpinSpa.

The popular Gerlitzen Alpe ski area is just a 10-minute drive from EuroParcs Ossiacher See and is also perfect for a skiing holiday with the whole family.
