Traditional skating
While in summer the bathing guests enjoy the pure water of the lake, it presents itself ice-covered in winter – Europe’s largest natural ice surface. Norbert Jank and his team are responsible for taking care of the ice surface, for preparing, grooming and cleaning it in order to create perfect conditions for all passionate ice sports fans.
Highlight of the skating season is the Alternative 11-Cities-Tour, when hundreds of – mainly Dutch - ice skaters speed along the 25 km long skating rinks. 200 km is the distance to be covered in this international competition. Who prefers less competitive distances can cope with 50 or 100 km or just enjoy the lake and the landscape as long as he likes. There is also enough space for ice hockey players.
HIGHLIGHTS: Natural park Lake Weissensee
Snowshoeing
HIKE: Nature Park hike with snowshoes or on foot to Naggler Alm with a snack including organic products.
Winter hikers may enjoy a large network of groomed winter hiking trails across forests and the lake. The benches along the trails invite to rest in the warmth of the winter sunshine that we are lucky to enjoy quite often here. Who prefers the calm to the hustle and bustle on the slopes will be rewarded with stunning lake-views on a hike to Alm hinterm Brunn. A hike along the sunny forest trail will bring you to another popular destination, Erlebnishof Tschabitscher.
SKI: Around the paradise for ice skaters and stock sport players cross-country skiers may enjoy their runs on and round the lake. About 55 km of double track and skating lanes of different difficulty levels wait to be discovered. They may choose between ambitious and challenging ascents and twisty descents or just enjoy the passing landscape of the fog-free Weissensee valley on one of the training runs.
BIATHLON: The Carinthian Quality Seal for Cross-Country Ski Runs answers for their quality. Who would like to dedicate himself to biathlon can trustfully turn to the Biathlon Centre featuring a laser shooting facility. Stock sport will dominate the lake on January 14 and 15, 2017. Different teams coming from 4 nations will compete for the desired trophy – the 2nd SERVUS Alpentrophy. Outside of these days lake Weissensee is the playground for the residents, who have been passionate stock sport players for many years.
FAMILY: Small but beautiful – is our family ski resort featuring a 4-seat chairlift and 4 ski-lifts. The team of Weissensee Cable Car is known for its best-groomed ski runs!
