The bathing lakes between lakes and mountains catch the warm light of the south. In the summer months, the water surfaces of Lake Millstätter See and Lake Brennsee become large stages for water sports and the shores of Lake Maltschacher See and Lake Flatschacher See also open up cozy "summer rooms" that invite you to relax and unwind.
Vacations by the lake - sometimes full of energy, sometimes quiet and untouched, always at your own pace.
On an Austrian lakeside vacation, life takes place outdoors: water is more than just an element - it is a playing field, a challenge and pure freedom. Whether at speed over the waves, gliding calmly in the morning hours or diving into the silence of the depths - TIME at the lake becomes an experience here.

The best time for a lake vacation in Carinthia is from May to September. In spring, nature awakens and the lakes invite you to be active in a peaceful atmosphere. Summer is perfect for water sports, with water temperatures of up to 27 °C - ideal for swimming, SUP or sailing. Late summer and early fall offer warm water, pleasant temperatures and less hustle and bustle - perfect for those who want to combine nature and enjoyment.
Technology meets speed at Lake Brennsee: windsurfing, sailing and foiling for all those who want to feel the water. Lake Millstatt brings dynamism into play - water skiing, wakeboarding and tubing provide pulsating moments on crystal-clear water. Those looking for balance can glide over the smooth surface while stand-up paddling - whether relaxing on Lake Maltschach or focusing on SUP paddle yoga into the sunrise. Almost all water sports can be tried out.
Stand-up paddlers enjoy complete freedom on Austria's lakes - a free ride and gentle contact with the water. At Lake Millstätter See, Lake Brennsee, Lake Maltschach and Lake Flatschach, every SUP tour can be tailored to your own rhythm - whether it's a relaxed glide in the morning or a sporty exploration tour across the water.
Many Austrian lakes are managed by the Austrian Federal Forests, including Lake Millstätter See, Lake Brennsee, Lake Flatschacher See and Lake Falkertsee. Lake Maltschach is owned by the state of Carinthia.
