Winter Vacation with the Whole Family – Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Eco-friendly, sustainable, and in touch with nature – the perfect winter vacation in Carinthia with the whole family
Unwind together in the middle of the wintery Nockberge Biosphere Park.
Everyone is probably looking forward to their next winter vacation.
The Slow Travel Resort Kirchleitn is located in St. Oswald, at the foot of the Nockberge mountains. The sustainably managed resort is designed as a small village within the village. It consists of many different cozy farmhouses made from the wood of historic farms. The charming apartments in Bad Kleinkirchheim are housed in the traditional Alpine farmhouses, leaving nothing to be desired for a winter vacation with the family in Carinthia.
Winter vacation with the whole family in the snowy Nockberge mountains
In winter, the region around St. Oswald invites you to enjoy a wide range of activities.
Families can spend a relaxing ski vacation with their children and fully enjoy the offers of the Bad Kleinkirchheim cable cars. The Brunnach Biosphere Park Railway is located in the immediate vicinity of the Slow Travel Resort Kirchleitn.
On the other hand, if you want to spend a very natural, quiet and ecologically sustainable winter vacation, you can explore the wintery forests on the numerous hiking trails, take a relaxing snowshoe hike across alpine meadows or whiz down the snowy slopes with a toboggan.

When the kids are playing outside and getting to know the surrounding area, the adults can sit back, stress-free and carefree, because the little ones are in a safe environment.
The danger of passing cars is eliminated, as the entire area of the resort is car-free.

In the afternoon at the playground, in the playroom or in the village sauna
The Slow Travel Resort Kirchleitn offers all children a fabulous range of games.
You can balance, slide and climb on the natural wooden playground. If the little ones have had enough outside, they can continue playing indoors in the wonderful “Spielstubn”. The entire playroom was holistically designed by a solid wood carpentry and equipped with pedagogically valuable wooden toys.
Saunas, waterfall shower and swimming biotope
While the children are having fun outdoors or in the playroom, the parents can have a good time in the “village sauna.”

In the evening, the fireplace crackles in the apartment

If you prefer to enjoy yourself outside, you will find cozy restaurants in the area with regional Carinthian specialties, from hearty Kasnudeln to fine game dishes. Rustic huts invite you to stop off directly on the ski slopes, where you can warm up with hot tea or a hearty snack.

Sustainable winter vacation with the family FAQ’s
Sustainability and skiing
Sustainability can also be lived more consciously when it comes to ski equipment.
Especially for families with children, buying a complete set of ski equipment is not always necessary and sensible. It is best if the ski equipment is either borrowed from your home town or from a rental service on site. Alternatively, certain items of equipment can also be bought second-hand. Defective winter equipment does not have to be disposed of immediately, but can be repaired to save valuable resources.
Ski touring, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, tobogganing
If the ski operation is too hectic for you, you can find great and sustainable alternatives in the area around St. Oswald. In addition to ski touring, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, you can also enjoy relaxing walks in the forest, building snow castles and igloos or a fun toboggan ride.
