Watersports

Naturally relaxed and musically inspired, Lake Ossiach is by far the most diverse lake in Carinthia. Lake Ossiach has everything: dreamy retreats, atmospheric natural shores, fantastic mountain backdrops, carefree sunsets and the best water quality in emerald green.

Because Lake Ossiach, northeast of the city of Villach, is the most diverse lake in Carinthia. Calm and culture on the one hand, sport and events on the other. And the combination of Mediterranean and Alpine delights locals and guests alike. All kinds of water sports are available at the lake and the mountains are within reach. To climb, to enjoy and to set off on an “adventure in the air”, like paragliding.

The Gerlitzen Alpe, which rises on the northern shore of Lake Ossiach, is one of the most beautiful mountains in Austria for paragliding. The view: breathtaking! Afterwards, you can relax in the best wellness oases in the region and at bathing temperatures in summer of up to 26 degrees directly in the lake. It also means: raise the curtain for the most musical lake in Austria! Lake Ossiach is the venue for the international music festival “Carinthian Summer”.
