Nassfeld Ski Arena is located right on the Italian/Austrian borders, and has been aptly named as a little known gem of a resort, in the sunny province of Carinthia.

Due to its high altitude and comprehensive snow canon coverage, Nassfeld boasts of excellent snow coverage throughout the winter ski season. It is also the largest and most modern ski resort in Carinthia, and has been placed in the Top Ten of Austria’s best ski resorts.

The Millenium Express gondola is the longest in Europe, and takes just 17 minutes to transport you to an altitude of just over 2000 meters. The views of both the Austrian and Italian Alps are simply stunning.

You can enjoy the famous Austrian hospitality and cuisine at the many mountain restaurants and bars, and you can even ski into Italy for a very reasonable, traditional Italian pizza!

Other activities in the area, include 80 km of cross-country skiing (easy to difficult), 55 km of winter hiking trails, 5 toboggan runs, horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice skating on Lake Weissensee – Europe’s largest natural ice rink, or hire some of the alternative snow equipment, such as snowbikes, rubber tubes, airboards etc.
