Take a break - enjoy nature! "Outdoorpark Oberdrautal" comprises eight towns and villages at the River Drau that offer adventurous sports and leisure activities in close touch with nature as well as pleasant oases for rest and relaxation. The picturesque landscape - the gently rolling hills of the Kreuzeck Mountains to the north, the impressive Gailtal Alps to the south and the Lienz Dolomites to the west - along with a mild, bracing climate and heartfelt hospitality are the perfect pre-requisites for a both active and relaxing break in tune with nature.
Embedded between the Gailtal limestone alps in the south, the Dolomites of Lienz in the west and the Kreuzeck mountain range in the north, the upper Drautal is set amidst the Carinthian mountain scenery. In the Outdoorpark Oberdrautal you are spoilt for choice when it comes to sports and leisure activities: hiking, mountaineering, trips with your bicycle on Drauradweg, mountain biking along the sunny mountain villages, excursions in canoe, rafting and a trip on the Drauplätte boat on river Drau, paragliding and hang gliding from Emberger Alm or golf, riding, bathing and simply enjoying the western landscape of Carinthia. Explore Oberdrautal valley and discover unknown territories. Have a nice holiday!
Away from mass tourism, the Oberdrautal holiday region offers a different kind of winter holiday:
This is not about annoying queuing times in front of crowded mountain lifts and traffic jams on your way to the ski area! The cozy ambience of rustic inns and mountain huts, Carinthian hospitality, open-minded locals and a vast range of winter sports make your holiday a pleasant and unforgettable experience!
Peaceful ski mountaineering to the valley's most secluded spots, adventurous snowshoe hiking in the Kreuzeck massif, funny tobogganing followed by a jovial night on a quaint mountain hut, a fine glass of hot mulled wine next to the open fire place... Winter holidays at their very finest!
Ski areas and mountain lifts for all ages and ability levels, kids' ski schools and clubs, plenty of entertaining activities throughout the season await you as well.
A panoramic road (20 min. drive) takes you right to the sun-flooded Emberger Alm ski area and its immaculate slopes. Cross-country skiers are spoilt for choice as well in Oberdrautal while ice skaters get together at Lake Weissensee, the biggest natural ice skating rink.
