🏔 A touch of history and tradition
Lake Pressegger See lies in the Gail Valley, a region with a long and rich history.
For centuries, people here lived from farming and cattle breeding – and that authentic atmosphere can still be felt today. The area is also known for its culinary traditions – from hearty “Gailtaler Speck” to artisan cheeses – and for the warm hospitality that makes visitors feel at home straight away.
🌞 A paradise for families
Lake Pressegger See is often called the “bathtub of the Gail Valley”, as its water warms up quickly in summer and belongs to the warmest lakes in Austria. With its shallow shores, the lake is ideal for children, who can swim and play safely. At the park itself, you will find all the comforts of home – surrounded by unspoiled nature.
🚴♂️ Active in nature
For those who love being active, the area offers countless options:
-
Cycling & mountain biking along the Gail Valley cycle routes or on more challenging mountain trails.
-
Hiking along streams, through alpine meadows, and up to stunning panoramic viewpoints.
-
Watersports on Lake Pressegger See: canoeing, stand-up paddling, or simply splashing in the water.
-
In winter, within 15 minutes you reach Nassfeld ski resort, one of Austria’s largest and most snow-sure areas.
🍷 Relax & enjoy
If you prefer to take it easy, enjoy regional dishes in cozy mountain huts and village restaurants.
Or simply relax on the terrace of your holiday home with a good book while the children play. Every season paints the landscape in different colors, always creating a picture-perfect backdrop.
