Welcome to Lake Wörthersee!

Nestled between rolling hills, glistening forests and the majestic Alps lies Lake Wörthersee. In summer it is turquoise blue and up to 28 degrees, in autumn a sea of gold and red, and in winter an enchanting paradise full of peace, magic and winter glamour.

Here, in the south of Carinthia - just a stone's throw from Italy and Slovenia - joie de vivre, nature and enjoyment come together to create a year-round holiday experience. When the lake is reflected in frosty silver, fairy lights light up the towns and the scent of punch wafts through the alleyways, a quieter but no less fascinating time begins at Lake Wörthersee.

Whether festive Advent magic, active winter days, enjoyable autumn moments or the longing for the next summer - Lake Wörthersee is a stage for special moments at any time of year. Look forward to stylish lakeside terraces, first-class cuisine, cool events, casual sports activities and plenty of inspiration for your very own lifestyle holiday.

News from the region

Wir, die Tourismusregion Wörthersee-Rosental, haben uns etwas ganz Besonderes ausgedacht: Einen Trailer für eine Serie, die es (noch!) nicht gibt. Inspiriert von der legendären 90er-Jahre-TV-Serie „Ein Schloss am Wörthersee“ entstand unter der Regie von Patrick R. Neubäck ein aufwendiger Trailer mit hochkarätigem Cast, darunter Manuel Rubey, Julian Waldner, Michael Pink, Sarah Jung, Reinhard Nowak, Alena Gerber und Anna Strigl. Das Projekt wurde von einer umfassenden Produktionskampagne begleitet, die die Region Wörthersee-Rosental ins Rampenlicht rückt.

Was als außergewöhnlicher PR-Stunt begann, entwickelte sich schnell zu einem vollen Erfolg. Aufgrund der enormen Resonanz arbeitet unser Team bereits an der Umsetzung einer sechsteiligen Miniserie. Diese kreative Kommunikationskampagne wurde nicht nur zu einem Highlight der Filmbranche, sondern auch beim renommierten Golden Drum Festival in Portorož, einem der bedeutendsten Werbefestivals Europas, mit Gold ausgezeichnet.
