Chalet Gailblick

There is a lot to experience in the vicinity of Kötschach-Mauthen. Here is a small list, but in our house you will find many brochures. Italy – The Plöcken Pass begins in Mauthen. A drive over the beautiful pass takes you across the Dolomites to the province of Friuli in Italy. This province is known for its culinary wine (and food) area. Here you will find beautiful wine castles with very nice wines. The large shopping city of Udine can be reached within an hour by car. The Italian Adriatic coast is approximately an hour and 45 minutes drive. Golf – For the golf enthusiast, there are various possibilities in the area, including the Dolomites golf in Lienz with its beautiful 27 holes! A pleasure to play there. Grossglockner – The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is one of the most beautiful roads in Austria. A mountain road that you should definitely drive once in your life. You drive up in 36 hairpin bends, a phenomenal road with beautiful viewpoints. The Grossglockner High Alpine Road starts in the village of Bruck and ends 48 kilometers away in Heiligenblut (a very charming place by the way). The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is named after the mountain Grossglockner, at 3,798 meters it is the highest mountain in Austria. Lienz – Lienz still has an authentic Old Town where cozy shops and terraces alternate. You will also find the 2.7 km long toboggan run here, which you should not deprive your children of. Garnitzenklamm – Perhaps the most beautiful gorge (Klamm) in Austria is the Garnitzenklamm. You can walk this route very well in very hot weather. In the narrow gorge you walk mostly in the shade and the cold water of the stream keeps the air pleasantly cool. You will find this Klamm just before Hermagor. Paragliding – For the real adventurer, paragliding is now within reach. From experience we can say that this is an absolute must. A tandem jump is not nearly as scary as it seems and this experience will never fade from your memory.
