The Nock Mountains are rounded, not rugged. For families, loops of three to six kilometres with picnic spots by the stream are plenty. With the Brunnach Biosphere Reserve gondola or the Kaiserburg lift you’re above 2,000 metres before the kids start moaning.
Around 30 mountain huts in the region serve Carinthian specialities, some of them for over 400 years. Since 2012 the area has been part of the UNESCO Salzburger Lungau and Kärntner Nockberge Biosphere Reserve.
