Autumnhas the best days

In October the larches change colour, the paths go quiet, and with a little patience you’ll spot deer and marmots. The Kärnten Card is valid until early November, the mountain lifts are still running, and in the evening you light the tiled stove for the first time.

For families the autumn half-term is the relaxed time in the village: swimming pond for the brave, playground for everyone, thermal spas for the grown-ups.

  • LarchesGolden from mid-October
  • Tiled stoveThe first fire of the season
  • Thermal spasRömerbad and St. Kathrein in the resort

Questions

What youwant to know

Do the mountain lifts run in autumn?

Yes, well into autumn; the lift company publishes the exact dates. Free once a day with the Kärnten Card.

Is the swimming pond open in autumn?

The pond is there, the water is fresh. The brave jump in, the others sit on the meadow.

Is there a reception?

No, and that’s on purpose. You check in online before you arrive, and on arrival day your key lands on your phone. It opens your apartment, the sauna and the bike cellar. Everything’s ready for you from 4 pm.

Do I have to cook?

Yes, we don’t have a restaurant. But every apartment has its own kitchen with oven and dishwasher, and the Greisslerei (village shop) at the village entrance has bread, cheese and eggs from Carinthian farms every day from 8 am to 10 pm.

Still curious? Give us a call or see what is free.
