Nassfeld holidays
Jump to sections
A family fave, holidays to Nassfeld dish up all-you-can-do activities and a foodie scene that’ll leave you wanting seconds.
Villages and towns to explore
Nassfeld is the area’s go-to ski resort and it’s just as popular in the summertime. The village of Tröpolach is home to most of the hotels, not to mention the mountain lifts that’ll take you up to the peaks. But with traditional towns and villages dotted all along the wide Gailtal valley, there’s a whole lot more to explore too. Regular buses make it easy to hop between them, and you can travel for free thanks to the +CARD that’s included with your stay – it’ll even give you discounts on some of the top local attractions.
Alpine neighbours. Local flavours.
You’re in Austria’s most southerly state here, Carinthia. Just over the border from Italy, it’s one of the sunniest spots in the country. And it isn’t just the climate that brings a touch of the Med to the place. Regional dishes like Kärntner Nudeln – think ravioli done Austrian style – add a dash of Italian flavour to the menus. Plus, with vineyards dotting the south-facing hillsides, you’ll be able to pair a glass of local vino to your meal too.
Explore the great outdoors
Nassfeld knocks it out the park when it comes to outdoor activities. From woodland rambles and riverside ambles to summit strolls, there’s a different walk to do every day here. And there are heaps of routes for cyclists too – plus, with e-bikes and cycle-friendly lifts, you won’t need to strain the legs either. On the nearby Gail river, you can swap pedals for paddles with rafting or try river tubing to bump down the rapids on a giant rubber ring. Or if you prefer calmer waters, spread out your picnic blanket on a grassy lido at Lake Pressegg instead.
Family fun from A-Z
Kicking things off for kids is the Kärtner Erlebnispark Presseggersee. Not just you average lakeside spot, this pay-to-use lido levels things up with slides, rides and lots of outdoor games. Away from the water, you’ve got the Nassfeld Outdoor Park at the top of Millennium-Express gondola. Covering activities like archery, climbing, high-ropes courses and zip-lining, it’s just the ticket for older ones and teens. And you can’t miss the Pendolino mountain coaster while you’re up here either – a kind of toboggan ride on rails, the 2km trip from top to bottom is the longest in Carinthia.
