Location and what's nearby

Stresweg 8, 9773 Irschen, Austria

Surrounded by verdant forests, idyllic alpine meadows and stunning Carinthian mountain scenery, the Naturhotel Landhof Irschen lies at the edge of the tranquil herb village of Irschen. This small but heavenly hiking hotel covers 15,000 square metres of alpine paradise and is the perfect place for switching off amid scenes of unspoilt natural beauty. From guided tours of the local area, canyoning, gorge climbing, canoeing or even paragliding in the Oberdrautal outdoor park, there’s something to suit every level of ability. If you prefer to take in the scenery on foot, you can admire the wonderful mountain views whilst hiking between the Lienz Dolomites and the shimmering Carinthian bathing lakes.

In winter, Irschen’s location in the upper Drautal also presents itself as an absolute outdoor paradise. With the option to go on snowshoe hikes, carriage rides, ski tours, tobogganing and ice skating, you’re guaranteed to see the Carinthian region through an entirely new perspective. One particular highlight is a visit to the wintry Weissensee, which is the largest constantly freezing natural ice area in Europe. Here, you’ll find ice athletes of every discipline, as well as horse-drawn sleighs which ride around the lake. 
Five-star booking service? You bet.
