5-star bivouacs in Carinthia

A romantic experience under a star-lit sky

In 2018 I first told you about this incredible experience (in this article), and I wanted to relive it a few days ago. I am in Millstätter See, a few hours’ drive from Trieste.

Lesachtal: discovering the slowest valley in the world.

Visit Carinthia among picturesque views and mouth-watering delicacies.

You can get here without passing on the Austrian highway, without a Slovenian vignette and by bypassing the Carnic Alps from Forni Avoltri.

We’re in the Lesachtal valley (Lesna dolina in Slovenian): it’s an…

Winter experiences in Bad Kleinkirchheim.

How about skiing with Franz Klammer, thermal Spas, sledding or snowshoeing in nature?

Skiing on mount Gerlitzen in Carinthia is just magnificent!

Carinthia and eastern Tirol altogether count thirty-one winter sport resorts that benefit of their fortunate position on the south side of the Alps. This means that they have snow and sunny days. You can ski on tracks 800 kilometers long overall, and benefit from more than 300 modern ski lifts for which you’ll never have…

Autumn in Bad Kleinkirchheim with good food, nature and thermal waters.

Summer is over…but holidays are not!

Did I have to turn 40 to discover the beauty of the mountains in September? It looks like it, also because if someone had suggested me a trip some years ago I would have answered “Absolutely not! If it isn’t winter, it’s sad to go in the mountains!” Well, today I can tell you that…
