Ski holidays Obervellach – village with a "golden" past!
Obervellach
Embedded between mountains, castles, and palaces, in the centre of the Carinthian Mölltal, lies Obervellach. As a former centre of gold, silver, and copper mining, the village looks back on a veritable "golden" past, which is still reflected by many historic buildings. Nowadays, Obervellach is more of a centre for friends of nature and sports fans. Due to its proximity to the High Tauern National Park and to 2 diverse ski areas, it is the perfect starting point for cross-country and skiing adventures. With the ski bus you can easily get to the 25 to 30 minute distant only Carinthian Glacier area at the Mölltal Glacier and to the Ankogel (operating hours as per timetable in resort). Austria's only health resort with Schroth therapy does not only await your arrival with a unique health programme, but also a diverse recreational programme.Mölltal Glacier
''100% Sun, Snow, and Ski fun!'' The formula for success at the Mölltaler Glacier and the Ankogel is as simple as it is comprehensible. The 3,122 m high Mölltaler Glacier is one of Austria's most snow-secure glacier ski areas. The southern side of the Alps is statistically proven as the sunniest region in Austria. The panorama views of about 30 3,000-meter high mountains of the Hohe Tauern is unique to Austria. Lovingly referred to as ''Mölli'' by fans, Carinthia's only glacier ski area draws skiers in starting in the end of September to power out on the finest powder.On the Mölltaler Glacier and the nearby Ankogel, you can expect to find 30 km of snow-sure pistes. Ankogel is just as challenging for aces and off-piste artists as well as for pleasure-carvers and boarders, who have long-since discovered the generous and broad pistes. The best thing about "Mölli" and Ankogel has to be that there are no waiting times for the ski lifts and no rushhours on the pistes. In both ski areas you'll experience typical Carinthian friendliness- a heart-warming combination of serenity and hospitality. Action and fun are also guaranteed with possibilities of ice skating or racing down the toboggan run. A real highlight after or instead of the sporting activities is visiting the "Tauern Bad" pool area.
