The surroundings: Carinthia at its finest
Arriach is considered the geographic center of Carinthia, and this central location is one of the estate’s greatest assets. The village lies at the foot of the Gerlitzen Alpe (1,909 m), one of the region’s most beloved scenic mountains, offering panoramic views of the Carinthian mountains and lakes all the way to the Karawanken. In winter, the Gerlitzen is a popular ski resort; in summer, it transforms into a true hiker’s paradise, with trails for every skill level. Along the way, you’ll pass unique spots such as the Neugarten Almhütte, where cows playfully advertise local specialties like buttermilk, apple strudel, and cider.
About a ten- to fifteen-minute drive away lies the Ossiacher See, which, at 11 kilometers, is the third-largest lake in Carinthia. The beautiful water and mild climate make the lake a true paradise for water sports: stand-up paddleboarding, sailing, surfing, kayaking, water skiing, and wakeboarding are all possible here, with schools and rental stations available. Those who prefer to stay on shore can enjoy the beach in Bodensdorf, a boat trip across the lake past picturesque villages and sights such as Ossiach Abbey, or simply the view from the terrace.
