Summer in the Gailtal.

The lake on your doorstep

What would a summer vacation be without swimming in the lake? That's what we thought ... and that's why we built the Alpen Adria Hotel just a few hundred meters from Lake Presseggersee. Okay, of course it wasn't quite like that. And you don't even have to leave our hotel to enjoy a relaxing day of swimming.

The natural jewel of the Gailtal

Lake Pressegg is nestled in Austria's second largest reed belt and in the immediate vicinity of the Alpen Adria Hotel. And so that you can enjoy the crystal-clear water of this natural jewel of the Gailtal Valley for as long as possible, it also has the most hours of sunshine in Carinthia.

Natural jewel Pressegger See

The lake, which is particularly rich in calamus, has a proven healingeffect. The Pressegger is therefore often referred to as nature's fountain of youth!

But it's not just the water in the lake that is good for your health. Whether swimming, diving, windsurfing or fishing: At Lake Presseggersee you can do sports and relax to your heart's content.

Slow down through the reeds
New: "Slow Trail" on Lake Presseggersee

As a Carinthia connoisseur, you may have already heard of our "Slow Trails". Slow Trails take vacationers as well as locals on selected, stress-free hikes through the Carinthian lake landscape.

Because those who slow down begin to see, discover the lake from ever new perspectives and take its shimmering waters with them into the forest, where thoughts rest in the green silence.

The Slow Trail around Lake Pressegger See starts at the Hermagor lido. You should allow at least 1.5 hours for the easy, approximately 6-kilometre hike. Our tip: don't set yourself a time limit, but enjoy the relaxing moment of walking amidst the beautiful reed landscape.

"Set off on your way. Walk through the portal. Draw on the power of the moment. 4 stations give you pause."

Pools at the Alpen Adria Hotel

As I said ... You don't necessarily have to leave our hotel to enjoy the fun of swimming. On a vacation at the Alpen Adria Hotel you will always find an opportunity for a dip in the refreshing water. No matter what the weather is like.

Indoor pool

Immerse yourself in the 30 to 31°C warm indoor pool. Let yourself be gently massaged on bubbling whirlpool loungers and listen to the relaxing sounds of underwater music.

The indoor pool is open daily from 6.00 a.m. until 8.00 p.m.

Auszen_amp_Bad_Winter-3

Outdoor whirlpool

Whirl in the fresh air at a pleasant 33 to 36 °C and really relax. Enjoy - floating in the whirlpool - the mountain panorama of the Gailtal Alps with the Spitzegel, Vellacher Egel and Dobratsch.

Sports pool

You can enjoy even the hottest summer day in the large outdoor pool in the garden of the Alpen Adria Hotel. Because the 19 to 25°C cool water always provides pleasant refreshment.

In winter, the sports pool serves as a tingling after-dinner treat after a sauna session. First into the Gailtal sweatbox and then into the "naturally heated" outdoor pool and you have already passed the seminar to become a Gailtal nature boy or nature girl. The reward is a Gailtal herbal fruit tasting in the rustic cow bar.
