Haus Im Hochtal Bad Bleiberg

Bad Bleiberg is situated in Carinthia, close to the border of Austria, Slovenia and Italy, in a picturesque natural landscape at 920 m above sea level between the Dobratsch and Erzberg mountains.
History of Bad Bleiberg
The Austrian town Bad Bleiberg bears a piece of history in its name: For centuries, the village near Villach was known for its lead and zinc mining, which is still remembered today by the mining museum "Terra Mystica" and the numerous tunnel systems, some of which are accessible.
Our house is an excellent starting point to reach the great hiking trails, skiing areas, Carinthian lakes, Villach, Klagenfurt, Slovenia and Italy.
City of Villach
Villach, 12 km from us, is the centre of the region and attracts visitors with its charming old town and many traditional events.
Further information on events such as the Villacher Fasching or the Villacher Kirchtag, Austria's largest traditional festival, can be found here:

From spring to autumn:
The silence of the mountains, the gentle shores of crystal-clear and warm bathing lakes, magnificent castles and castle ruins, picturesque villages and towns and a wide range of leisure activities await you in the heart of Carinthia from spring to autumn.
Lake Wörthersee, Lake Ossiach, Lake Faak, Lake Millstatt and many other warm bathing lakes are a paradise for summer holidays. In addition, the nearby KärntenTherme Warmbad-Villach offers water fun and wellness for the whole family.
The magnificent mountain world invites you to go on long hikes with countless hiking trails, and there are also numerous cable cars for easier hikes in summer. The region can also be explored on numerous signposted cycle paths.
In and around Bad Bleiberg, more than 10 hiking trails of varying lengths (e.g. the Stollen Hiking Trail) begin or lead through.
For car and motorbike lovers, the nearby panoramic roads offer an unforgettable experience.
If you want to go further afield, the capital of Carinthia, Klagenfurt, is about 50 km away. Also Slovenia (e.g. Bled 70 km) and Italy (e.g. Tarvisio 30 km, Udine 120 km, but also a bath at the sea is reachable in 2 hours) are easy to reach.

Winter holiday
For ski lovers there are several ski resorts in the immediate vicinity. The closest is the HRAST ski lift on the other side of the Dobratsch, 10 km away in Feistritz an der Gail.
20-25 minutes drive to Gerlitzen Alps and the Dreiländereck (Arnoldstein), 30 minutes to Tarvisio and about 35 minutes to Nassfeld. This is one of the largest ski areas in Austria with 110 km of snow-sure slopes and offers the best opportunities for beginners and professionals. A free bus runs daily from Bad Bleiberg to Nassfeld.
Those who don't ski can enjoy hiking, cross-country skiing or sleighing in the Dobratsch Nature Park or on the slopes of the nearby Hundsmarhof. Away from the ski slopes, the Dobratsch Nature Park has a network of 15 kilometres of winter hiking trails that can be walked with hiking boots or snowshoes.
There is also a cross-country ski trail in Bad Bleiberg, a slope for sledging on the village hill and a floodlit ice-skating rink.
After (or instead of) sports, our guests can enjoy the warmth of the town of Villach at the Drava. Wellness lovers will get their money's worth at the year-round adventure pool KärntenTherme in Warmbad-Villach. Children's adventure pool, super cool tube and panorama slides, as well as the "Crazy River" and an interactive water world await guests.
Every year in November, the Advent market opens in Villach. The traditional part of the market is a circle with wooden stalls around the main parish church, the Villach Nasch-Advent takes place on the main square and the Villach Art-Advent in the park of the Parkhotel. The popular ice skating rink in front of the town hall opens every year at the end of November.
Another winter highlight is the Villach Fasching - with its fun programme and Fasching Saturday as the highlight!
