Active holidays in Carinthia at the 4-star Hotel Karnerhof.

What could be better than a day full of physical activity, activities and new experiences - and spending that time of relaxation and revitalisation in a wonderful 4-star resort inspired by an Alpine lake? The Karnerhof stands for deep feelings, attention to style and design, and above all, savouring the entire experience. Add to this the subtlety and above all the people with their warmth and hospitality. 

Upon arrival, a new lobby awaits you with its soft, inviting designer lounge furniture for a relaxed ambience. The wide variety of room categories - almost all with a lake view and cosy, stylish design - offer plenty of space for the self to unfold. The new LAKE-SOUL Spa with its extensive relaxation areas will delight you with its new world of wellness, from bio sauna to steam bath and tepidarium to waterbeds. A special highlight is the panoramic infinity pool and the outdoor whirlpool with a view of the lake and a feeling that blurs the distinction between the sky, the lake and the self.

And again and again the lake beckons. It's always an option, from early morning to late at night: Lake Faaker See with its turquoise blue waters with the quality of drinking water, up to 27 degrees warm in the summer, inviting you to swim, chill out and enjoy. The hotel's own lakeside bathing area with a shallow pebble beach impresses with its large sunbathing lawn, lakeside sauna and bistro for small snacks in between. There's also a Beach Club with a wide range of water sports such as stand-up paddling, surfing and rowing boating.

Culinary delights also have a prominent place on our indulgence agenda: the restaurant with buffet area tempts you with breakfast and evening gourmet dinners. Then there's the restaurant's lakeside terrace with plenty of space for privacy and romantic culinary treats on balmy evenings. Later in the evening, drop by the bar to chill over a leisurely nightcap: a cocktail, a long drink or a glass of beer.

Spring-like temperatures, manicured fairways, delightfully fresh greens and idyllic golf courses. Golf in Carinthia gets off to an early start in the year. And it's just 10 to 45 minutes from the Karnerhof to twelve different golf courses in three countries. In Carinthia, Italy and Slovenia, you'll find golf courses that are among the most well-kept in the Alps-Adriatic region, all reachable in a 10-45 minute drive. The short journey times and the perfectly tailored golf hotel offers make the Karnerhof an especially attractive golf retreat at the crossroads of three cultures.

The Golf Club Schloss Finkenstein, partner golf course of the Hotel Karnerhof, can be reached in just a few minutes by car. With no major elevation changes and an open and inviting layout, this attractive 18-hole course boasts beautiful pond landscapes and a stunning view of the Karawank and Dobratsch mountains. Recommendation: After your game, enjoy a drink on the terrace of the 200-year-old castle which also serves as the clubhouse.
