Ski area Gerlitzen

High above Lake Ossiach, there are 45 km of diverse pistes and 15 km of natural ski routes of varying difficulty only waiting to be explored in the ski area of Gerlitzen. No matter if you are beginner or pro, you will enjoy the sunny descents on the wide, vast pistes of this snow-sure ski area! Snow canons ensure that the pistes are accessible from November until April, in top quality and on all sides of the mountain.

This ski area in the heart of Carinthia is especially suited for families with children, thanks to its soft hills, wide pistes and comfortable lift systems. Therefore it has been awarded with the seal "Welcome Beginners". The little ones will find perfect conditions around the middle station, with the children's land and the "Schneebärenland", where there is also child-care service available. Beginners can practise on a range of pistes with easy and intermediate difficulty.

More experienced riders will enjoy the 7 km long valley descent to Klösterle, which actually covers an altitude difference of 911 metres. A wonderful view of Lake Ossiach and the surrounding mountains can be enjoyed during the 1 km long Wörthersee descent, which commences on the 1,911 m high peak of the Gerlitzen. A real insider's tip for ski cracks is the more challenging area around the Gegendtaler run, with a total length of 1.7 km. Freeriders and snowboarders will find some powder snow tracks to try out, and the children can have some fun in a small snowpark at the middle station of the Kanzel lift

A special highlight is the "Stella Ronda", a 360° ski round-course, covering 35 km of pistes through the entire ski area.

Après ski Treffen

Fans of outrageous après ski parties will be rather out of place in Treffen. This quiet resort at Lake Ossiach is especially designed for relaxation seekers, families, and nature lovers, all of whom will feel right at home rounding off their days with some great food in one of the many restaurants and taverns. Don't worry, though: Should you suddenly feel the desire to shake things up, the resort Villach is only a few kilometres away. There, you'll find several bars and a disco that will keep night owls entertained. Après ski atmosphere prevails in the ski area as well: the Cielo Mountain Lounge, the Huaba Hütte hut or the Sepplhütte hut are popular places to meet up.

The pros of Treffen lie more in the sporting and leisure activities that are available. Verditz, for example, is a popular destination for extended snowshoe hikes and tobogganers. Ice skaters will find their turf on the natural ice rink at the Treffen Palace or the Verditz curling rink. Another option would be to participate in a guided hike, which would allow you to get to know the natural surroundings better.

A popular destination for the whole family is the Kärten Thermal Bath in Villach, which pulls you in with its swimming landscape featuring a water slide and thermal jacuzzi as well as a 2,000 m² spa area with sauna and thermal water landscape.

Snowpark: Gerlitzen-Kids-Snowpark Treffen

In the Gerlitzen ski area, freestylers on both skis and snowboards will fine a small, yet promising park perefct for letting off steam! On the Klösterle, the "Kids Park" gets beginners revved up to try out diverse obstacles.

Jumps, corners, boxes, slides and wave rides create the perfect starting point into the freestyle scene. The combination of various obstacles and an even larger jumping opportunity invite even the pros among us to show us what they've got.

A special plus in the park is the speedy chair lift, which eliminates long waiting times and keeps the adrenaline junkies on their toes. Curious yet? Then don't wait any longer - off to the freestyle paradise of Gerlitzen!
