Lake Wörthersee in southern Austria has a warm, sunny climate reminiscent of the Mediterranean. The turquoise waters are surrounded by a stunning shoreline and mountain scenery. Our excellent range of hotels are in the bustling village of Pörtschach, a leafy village located on a peninsular jutting out into the lake and the sophisticated town of Velden, with its vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere. The warm, clear waters make these perfect spots for watersports and swimming as well as exploring the Austrian Riviera with the efficient ferry, train and bus service.
