Advent in Velden

The bay located beneath the castle on Lake Wörthersee is lit up by a gigantic floating Advent wreath of a thousand lights, also illuminating the way back to port for the St. Lucia as it returns from its festive cruise. The lovingly decorated stands of the Advent Market invite you to enjoy a romantic stroll on each of the Advent weekends.

Cross-Country Skiing
|
|
No other winter sport involves almost 85% of the musculature. So, if you are looking for outdoor activity away from the slopes, while simultaneously doing something good for body and soul, then we are the perfect place for you.
An extended cross-country expedition will quickly leave the stresses of daily life far behind – fading away with every step you take.
The Velden-Köstenberg cross-country trail is 6 km long and lies at an elevation of 800 m above sea level.

Skating
|
|
Slice across the smooth, icy surface amid glorious countryside and fresh, clear air.
Many of Carinthia’s nearby lakes are transformed into one giant natural ice rink, while their elevation guarantees countless days of wintertime sunshine. Getting ever thicker from day to day, the sheet of ice promises high-spirited, fun-filled winters here in Velden.
We would be glad to lend you some skates for your own personal adventure out on the ice.
