Cycling & mountain biking

Although the resort’s name carries “lake“ in it, we wouldn’t recommend a splash unless after a sauna visit. Even in summer lake Falkertsee, at an altitude of 1,850 m, doesn’t warm up to temperatures beyond 12 degrees Celsius. However, there’s nothing to keep you from unhindered bathing pleasures, with a number of Carinthian lakes, such as Millstätter See, Ossiacher See, Faaker See and Wörthersee right below you, literally speaking: by car within 30 - 60 minutes.

The Carinthia Card is the key to adventure, fun and lots of advantages. It opens the doors to more than 100 destinations throughout Carinthia and you may return to your favourite attractions on as many days as you like. Furthermore there are more than 60 bonus partners allowing exclusive reductions to all visitors with Carinthia Card. Available at Heidi Alm Falkert: Heidi-Hotel reception. +43(0)4275 72220

Advice for choosing the right equipment:
Ski boots are normally the first and most important piece of equipment that a skier will buy. Your feet should be measured and the shape of your foot taken into consideration. The ski boots should always be tested on the slope, while skiing (no rubbing spots, painless skiing, ...).
