A great selection of holiday homes in Carinthia
Carinthia is truly the land of lakes and mountains, with its rich history set against an enchanting and beautiful natural backdrop. Carinthia justifies its reputation as one of the most popular walking regions in
Austria, with numerous walking trails criss-crossing this part of the Alps, often giving access to the most beautiful landscapes imaginable. From tough treks that require an overnight stay, to simple walks with the
children, the possibilities are endless. Carinthia is also known for its large number of lakes, with crystal-clear water that is good enough to drink. In summer, you can
go for a swim and a spot of sunbathing surrounded by mountains, as Carinthia is the warmest and southernmost federal state in Austria. So don’t delay and book your very own holiday home in Carinthia. Micazu believes in direct contact, so your reservations are always made directly with the owner.
Summer holiday or winter sports: you can do both in Carinthia
Carinthia is a great holiday destination in winter too. It’s far less busy compared to the neighbouring regions of
Tyrol or
Salzburgerland, but Carinthia is an equally great
winter sports destination. Small towns such as
Kötschach-Mauthen and Mallnitz are home to lovely skiing areas with ski runs suitable for every level. If you make your way to the Mölltaler Gletscher, or Glacier, you can practice skiing and snowboarding all the year around. Carinthia also has plenty to offer if you’re in search of
culture and history. The old town of Villach is well worth a visit, and we can also recommend a
city trip to Klagenfurt, with its splendid ancient cathedral and the emblem of the city, the ‘Lindwurmbrunnen’, a fountain depicting a mythical tape worm that, according to legend, had to be slain before the city could be founded.
