Ski holidays Afritz am See – Ski holiday in the heart of Carinthia!

Afritz am See

In the quiet Gegend valley in Upper Carinthia, in the midlle of the picturesque Nockberge, lies Afritz am See. Exceedingly tranquil, the hilly landscape huddles along the valley between Millstätter and Ossiach Lake. Here, you can take your holiday into an authentically ideal landscape and stay door to door with Matthias Mayer, the Austrian ski racer and Olympic champion of 2014 in Sochi. Moreover, the resort is ideally situated for winter sports fans. The next ski area in Bad Kleinkirchheim is only a few kilometres away, and in winter, Afritz Lake becomes a natural ice rink, where skating, hockey, and ice surfing invite you to lace up those skates.
