Summer in Villach

A summer in Villach: welcome to a paradise for nature lovers, sports enthusiasts and connoisseurs

Get out of your vacation apartment in Villach and into vacation fun in the midst of nature: in summer, the south of Austria attracts visitors with a dreamlike backdrop that is unparalleled even in Hollywood’s dream factory. Our region with its crystal-clear lakes and majestic mountains offers everything a vacationer’s heart desires. In this article, we take you on a journey through a typical summer and introduce you to the fascination of the popular swimming locations of Faaker See, Wörthersee and Ossiacher See. You will also find out which summer sports are particularly popular here, where you can find the most beautiful hiking routes and enjoy the region’s best culinary delights.

Faaker See, Ossiacher See and Wörthersee are popular destinations for tourists and locals alike

The Carinthian lakes exert a special fascination year after year: The picturesque Faaker See, for example, with its idyllic lake island and imposing mountain panorama, forms the backdrop for the world-famous Harley meeting every September. The sophisticated Wörthersee with its omnipresent high-society flair and the paradisiacal Ossiacher See also have a lot to offer nature lovers and adventurers. In addition to the crystal-clear, turquoise water of excellent quality, there are endless leisure activities on offer, from water sports and hiking to extensive tours in the region. Lake Wörthersee scores with luxurious resorts, a casino and cultural events, while Lake Ossiach impresses with its rural flair and historical sites. One visitor tip is the high-altitude Landskron Castle: the history of the castle ruins can be traced back to 800 BC. Today, guests can enjoy breathtaking views and the spectacular air show in the Adlerarena. A must for young and old!
