Bad Kleinkirchheim is known as a place to relax and get spoiled at every turn, on and off the slopes. Since the Alpine Skiing World cup is regularly held there, the resort has nothing to prove when it comes to skiing and Bad Kleinkirchheim is also famous for its numerous thermal spas (the German word Bad means bath). Wellness connoisseurs will appreciate that the resort has been awarded with a certificate from the Alpine Wellness International association. Also, the nearest airport to easily access Bad Kleinkirchheim (Klagenfurt) is only 50 km away, making stress-free mini ski vacations possible.

In Bad Kleinkirchheim, the skiing and snowboarding start at 1100 meters and rise to just over 2000 meters. There are just over 100 km of ski runs with 32 total ski slopes, and children get their own slope and lift. The longest slope, 4 km long, will keep most guests content. In fact, it is an ideal destination for intermediate skiers who want challenge, and families of good skiers. To get off the slopes and still be active, there are about 60 km of winter walking paths, a curling rink, a 500m² ice-rink and two toboggan runs: 4 km of floodlit toboggan run on the Kaiserburg and the 4 km Falkerthaus run. Couples can go on horse drawn sleigh rides through the romantic winter countryside, or forget all about skiing and treat themselves with a thermal spa package.

In summer, the spa complexes of course don’t close and there’s is a lot to do for those who wish for active vacations. If tennis is your thing, you can play in simple or double on one of the 25 tennis courts of the resort. If you are a golfing enthusiast, the 18-hole golf course Kaiserburg, designed by Don Harradine, is one of Austria’s most prestigious ones, and horse lovers will be glad to know that there are 2 stables in the resort. Last,  but not least, Bad Kleinkirchheim offers to its visitors 1,000 km of well-marked and well-maintained excursion trails, and 43 trails specifically designed for mountain biking.

Accommodations in Bad Kleinkirchheim tend to fill up quickly during special events, such as the open-air music festival in January, so book early if you want to participate in one event of if your vacation dates aren’t flexible.
