Hiking holiday in southern Carinthia

A unique nature experience while hiking, climbing or mountaineering.

 

The mountain landscape of southern Carinthia

Over 800 km of hiking trails open up a unique landscape between the Saualpe in the north and the Karawanks in the south. Summit seekers can tackle the highest mountain massif of the northern Karawanks, the Hochobir (2,139 m), the peaks of the Petzen massif, or the summits of the Steiner Alps on the Slovenian border, either alone or accompanied by certified mountain guides. The ideal starting point for exploring the Karawanks is the Bad Eisenkappel Hiking Competence Center in the Vellachtal region. Whether you're interested in hiking in the summer or skiing in the winter – find out more at www.petzen.net.
