Resort Information
Lake Wörthersee in southern Austria has a warm, sunny climate reminiscent of the Mediterranean. The turquoise waters are surrounded by a stunning shoreline and mountain scenery. Our excellent range of hotels are in the bustling resort of Pörtschach, a leafy village located on a peninsular jutting out into the lake. The warm, clear waters make this a perfect spot for watersports and swimming as well as exploring the Austrian Riviera with the efficient ferry, train and bus service.

Getting About
Excellent public transport services around the lake including train, bus and ferry boat mean that all the resorts are well linked. The nearby cities of Klagenfurt and Villach are easily reached by train or bus.
Strollers
Relax and unwind with a stroll along the lakeside promenade - perfect for an evening walk. Stroll to the pace of live music, a regular feature on the lakeside. Frequent boat services on the lake take you to more resorts and ferry stations. From here you can enjoy a stroll back to base or even strike out further afield.
Ramblers
For those looking for a greater challenge, the nearby Karawanken Mountains offer a wealth of harder walks for the more adventurous. Across the lake at Maria Worth, well marked paths take you up to the Pyramidenkogel (850m) from where panoramic views stretch back across the lake to Pörtschach and beyond.
