Summer experiences Nature, adventure & real farm moments
Experience real Farm holidays in the Katschberg & Lieser-Maltatal region - where summer is full of adventures between the Hohe Tauern National Park and the Nockberge Biosphere Park.
Whether it's a challenging summit tour, a relaxed pleasure hike or a family trail suitable for children, this hiking paradise offers something for everyone. The unspoiled natural landscapes are complemented by a wide range of outdoor activities: cycling, summer tobogganing, climbing, high ropes parks and refreshing water adventure areas provide plenty of variety. The Sommerbergbahn Katschberg cable car takes guests comfortably up to the Aineck at 2,220 meters above sea level. At the top, a breathtaking panoramic view of the Hohe Tauern, a new alpine playground and cozy alpine huts for refreshments await you.
A highlight for nature and technology enthusiasts is the Malta Hochalmstraße, one of the most beautiful panoramic roads in the Alps. It leads spectacularly through the "valley of cascading waters" to the imposing Kölnbrein dam, the highest dam in Austria. Here, hikes between 3,000-meter peaks, an airy walk across the Airwalk and exciting dam wall tours await.
Animal lovers can visit the popular Maltatal donkey park, while families can discover the idyllic Pöllatal valley with its child-friendly stream adventure trail and the popular E-Tschu-Tschu cable car, which takes you right into the heart of the nature reserve and directly to mountain huts.
Those interested in culture can stroll through the charming artists' town of Gmünd, which delights visitors with its lively art and culture scene. Cultural highlights include the Porsche Car Museum, the Pankratium, changing exhibitions and creative workshops for young and old.
New in the region: Overnight guests in the Katschberg Lieser-Maltatal region can use all bus connections within the region as well as to Spittal train station and Lake Millstatt free of charge. Traveling by public transport is also made easier, the booking confirmation is already valid as a ticket.
Winter experiences Snow, silence and family happiness
Wide family pistes, sporty downhill runs and Katschi's Kinderwelt, where even the little ones can learn to ski in a playful way, await you in the TOP Katschberg ski area. The family-friendly ski area offers around 80 kilometers of pistes, 17 modern lifts and absolute snow reliability - ideal for a carefree winter vacation on a farm.
A real highlight is the romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride into the Gontal valley - with a stop at the rustic Pritzhütte. Particularly atmospheric: the Katschberg Advent Trail at 1,750 meters above sea level. Away from the hustle and bustle, visitors experience a contemplative winter hike from hut to hut with regional music, traditional crafts and touching stories after the carriage ride.
Away from the slopes, idyllic winter hiking trails, groomed cross-country ski trails, toboggan runs and snowshoe trails through the snow-covered mountains beckon. Innerkrems is a real insider tip for all those who want to enjoy winter away from the classic ski slopes: varied ski touring routes, an exciting snow tubing track, laser biathlon for young and old and perfectly groomed cross-country ski trails await you. Innerkrems is also the perfect place for leisurely winter walks through snow-covered landscapes.
