The family-friendly holiday region around Villach is ideal for camping with children. The Villach campsites have specialised in providing entertainment for their younger guests.

Special features of camping in Villach

Villach is located in Carinthia, just a few kilometres from both the Italian and Slovenian borders. This makes the town in Austria's southernmost province ideal for day trips to both countries. The majority of campsites in Villach are located around Lake Faak and Lake Ossiach. Therefore, anyone who prefers to look out over glistening water from their caravan will find their paradise for camping in Villach. Villach is surrounded by high mountain ranges, including the 2,166 metre-high local mountain Dobratsch and the Nockberge at up to 2,441 metres. Active holidaymakers feel at home in the Alpine world and can devote themselves to their hobbies.

Journey

The distance by caravan from Germany is at least 180 km from Berchtesgaden in the south-east to around 1,390 km from the northernmost city of Flensburg. The quickest route is to take the A8 from Munich and change to the A10 Tauern motorway at Salzburg. This motorway leads straight to Villach and is left at the Villach-West exit. In Austria, the use of motorways and motorways is subject to tolls. A distinction is made between vehicles with a total weight of up to 3.5 tonnes and heavier vehicles.

The former require a so-called vignette, which is clearly visible on the inside of the windscreen. Owners of large motorhomes must carry a so-called GO-Box, which is used for fully electronic toll payment based on the distance travelled. On the way to the campsites in Villach, drivers have the opportunity to take a break at the numerous rest areas. Those coming to Munich from northern Germany via the A9 may want to stop at the service-friendly Serways facilities, which offer well-maintained sanitary facilities, petrol stations and parking spaces for caravans as well as fast-food restaurants, playgrounds and Wi-Fi. Along the Tauern motorway, the Landzeit inns will delight you during a break with mountain views and delicious quality food.

Activities and excursions

If you want to discover and experience a lot during your camping holiday, Villach is the right place for you. Whether it's water fun, family hikes or cycling - there's something for everyone here.

Fun in the cool water

At the campsite in Villach, two bathing lakes with excellent drinking water quality offer a wide range of water sports. The Faaker See and Ossiacher See lakes are ideal for fishing, surfing and sailing. You can even go diving in the turquoise waters. For those who prefer something a little faster, there are banana boats and water skis to be had on the surface of the lake.

Experience Carinthia on foot

Families can enjoy child-friendly excursions around Villach, such as the varied Burgherrenrunde, which leads to the ruins of the once magnificent Renaissance castle of Landskron. On this adventure hike, you can also visit the birds of prey in the Adlerarena and the cheeky macaques on the Affenberg.

Travelling on two wheels

Located close to Italy and Slovenia, it is possible to cycle through three countries in one day from the campsites in Villach. Unforgettable cycling adventures also await in the surrounding area, for example on hidden forest trails or on rugged mountain bike trails high up on the Villacher Alpe.

Gastronomy

Due to its proximity to Italy and Slovenia, Carinthian cuisine not only tastes classically Austrian, but is also enriched by flavours from neighbouring countries to the south. This is reflected in delicacies such as sasaka, a spread made from smoked bacon, a Slovenian delicacy as well as spicy alpine cheese and salami, which are the favourite accompaniment to the typical snack, a cold snack served with crusty farmhouse bread. The region with its numerous lakes and rivers is also known for its diverse dishes made from freshly caught fish such as trout, char and grayling, as well as succulent meat from grazing cattle and alpine lambs in all variations. Carinthians enjoy pure apple juices or a sparkling apple wine with their meals, followed by a strong Swiss stone pine schnapps to aid digestion.

Best time to visit

With a moderate to warm climate, the holiday resort of Villach is ideal for camping. The Carinthian valley is open to the south, which promises plenty of sunshine. In summer, average daytime temperatures of around 25 degrees Celsius are ideal for outdoor activities. Active holidaymakers can look forward to colourful natural landscapes in spring and autumn and enjoy cycling, hiking or Nordic walking tours in mild temperatures. In winter, frost is common and it snows extensively during the ski season. The best camping weather is from the beginning of May to the end of September. Most campsites in Villach are also in season during this period.
