200 of these lakes are clear as drinking water and you can swim in temperatures up to 28°C. The best known large lakes are Lake Woerther, Lake Ossiacher, Lake Millstaetter, Lake Faaker and Lake Weissen. However, the high water density of the lakes proves their high alpine origin. In almost every enclosed hollow, every high valley sparkles crystal clear water. Throughout the unique mountains and lakes of Carinthia, bathing and wandering are inseparable. So it is no surprise, when swimming, to have the alpine pastures, the peaks and the sun terraces near the alpine lodges as a backdrop.

Enjoy the experiences of the Lake Woerther region at Velden - the sophisticated embodiment of the Lake Woerther. There are no limitations applied during the day to sport or entertainment activities. In the evening, it’s about “seeing and being seen” in the casinos or along the fun-mile with its extrovert bars, cafes and restaurants, or dancing in the disco. Night-owls find peace and calm during the day and are able to relax in the welcoming vicinity of Velden, embedded in luscious green meadows and softly rolling hillocks.
