An adults-only hotel in Carinthia is a good fit if you want a break between the lakeshore and the mountains. Our selection includes two hotels for guests aged 16 and over: one by Lake Wörthersee, the other on the Sonnenalpe Nassfeld.

Why choose Carinthia for a couples’ break?

Lake Wörthersee shapes southern Carinthia. On a boat trip, lakeside towns and villas drift into view as you see the lake and mountains from a different perspective. From the Pyramidenkogel observation tower, you can look out over the lake and the Carinthian Basin.

Klagenfurt by Lake Wörthersee also makes a cultural day out. Around the Lindwurm Fountain, you can wander through the old town and discover its famous landmark and the legend behind it. In the Gail Valley, Gailtaler Almkäse cheese tells the story of local produce and the Alpine and southern influences on the region’s cooking.

If you prefer narrow mountain paths, Garnitzen Gorge near Hermagor has bridges, waterfalls, rocks and clear pools. For more ideas in Austria, take a look at the adults-only hotels in Austria.
