Summer in Carinthia

Crystal-clear lakes & snow-capped peaks

The perfect harmony of water and mountains.

Summer at Chalet Presseggersee offers the best of both worlds. Wake up with an espresso on the sun terrace, head into the mountains for a panoramic hike to the huts, and round off the afternoon with a refreshing dip in the pleasantly warm waters of Lake Pressegger. Thanks to the mild, Mediterranean summers in southern Austria, you’ll spend most of your time outdoors here. And after an active day? Then the peace and luxury of your own private retreat await you.

The Carinthian Bathtub

Pure water fun right on your doorstep

Lake Pressegger is practically at your feet. With water temperatures reaching up to 28°C, it is one of the warmest lakes in Austria. The crystal-clear, drinkable water is perfect for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, sailing, or simply relaxing on one of the sunbathing areas. An idyllic spot where young and old alike can experience pure summer bliss.

Endless adventure

The Alps right in your backyard

In the summer, the slopes of Nassfeld transform into a breathtaking hiking and mountain biking paradise. Take the Millennium Express cable car to the summit and enjoy cross-border trails along the Italian border. From challenging single tracks and climbing parks to idyllic family hikes past authentic Austrian “Almen” where you can enjoy local specialties.

Ultimate privacy

Dining under the starry sky

After a day full of new experiences, there’s no better place to unwind than the chalet’s massive, wraparound terrace. Fire up the barbecue, grab a perfectly chilled bottle of wine from the wine cooler, and enjoy the sunset behind the mountain peaks in complete privacy. The fully enclosed private garden also offers a safe play area for children or your dog.
