Our tip for your holiday in a luxury tent
To fully enjoy your time-out in one of the luxury tents, here’s a little tip for you: The nights in the mountains of Carinthia can be quite chilly in spring and autumn. The tents can be heated up to 18 °C. Although we provide bed linen in your accommodation, it will be more cosy (and camping like) if you bring a sleeping bag from home.

Our excursion tips
The First Carinthian Adventure Park
If you are spending your summer vacation in the Nassfeld region, we highly recommend a very special day trip: to the first Carinthian Adventure Park right on the shore of Pressegger See. Here, kids of all ages find a true play paradise. Whether a ride on the Luna Loop or a jump with the Nautic Jet – boredom is never a factor. And for those who prefer something a little bit calmer, we suggest the Sky Dive, a play backhoe, and Shaky Wheels next to the lake. Mom and dad, in the meantime, can relax in the lakeside tavern or watch their youngsters in the bouncy castle. Pressegger See is one of Carinthia's warmest lake resorts, making it ideal for swimming or simply splashing around.
