From the Carnic Milky Way to scenic-view trails

Guided hikes in the Nassfeld-Pressegger See region

Hiking is a great opportunity for getting to know the region, nature and the people – at the same time, you can do something positive for your body and mind. If you’re interested in the locals’ secret tips, then guided hikes are perfect for you. Together with experienced local guides, you can go on exciting tours of exploration in the Hike World in Austria and Italy every week.

Would you like to get a taste of the Culinary World during a hike to the region’s many huts? Cross the border to Italy on a scenic-view trail with stunning views of the surrounding mountains? Or explore the regional meadows and learn more about their herbs during a family hike? The guided hikes on the sunny side of the Alps make these hiking dreams become a reality … A quick dip in one of the many mountain lakes or a relaxing swim at Lake Presseggersee or Lake Weissensee – that’s summer joy between mountains and lakes!

The new hiking highlight: Carnic Milky Way

Hiking across what used to be the bottom of the primordial ocean or learning more about the art of making high-quality dairy products. Hearing “Haltabua” stories about alpine pasture history or life on the so-called peace front – during the various star constellation tours along the Carnic Milky Way, you’ll experience hiking in an entirely new way in the World of Mountains & Lakes. Choose your preferred topic and go on a unique hike with your whole family!

The Hike World and its weekly hiking programme

From May to October, you can go on a hike with experienced local guides in the Nassfeld-Pressegger See region. Geo-Trail, sunrise hike or cross-border themed trail: The diverse and varied weekly hiking programme offers a touring highlight for every type of hiker.
