Hotels in Carinthia, Austria

Carinthia is a mountainous region in southern Austria, famous for its crystal-clear lakes like Wörthersee and the 10,000-foot Grossglockner peak. Its climate is a mix of Mediterranean and Alpine, with warm summers averaging 77°F (25°C) perfect for swimming in the lake or hiking the Nockberge trails, and snowy winters (around 28°F or -2°C) ideal for skiing at Nassfeld or cross-country skiing at Weissensee. You can visit the medieval castle Hochosterwitz in spring or attend the Carinthian Summer music festival in July, which features classical concerts in lakeside venues.
