Summer
Mountain air, crystal-clear lakes & endless outdoor fun
Relaxation & comfort
Nestled between crystal-clear lakes, including the Ossiacher See, one of Austria’s cleanest and warmest lakes, and majestic mountains, Arriach sits at 800 meters above sea level. Enjoy warm days and fresh evenings in our spacious apartments, studios, tiny house and garden, with BBQ, campfire, and cozy seating areas. Thanks to the fresh mountain air, the apartments stay pleasantly cool, so you can sleep soundly in summer, no air conditioning needed.
