A holiday at one of Austria's most beautiful lakes The location of EuroParcs Ossiacher See is ideal for nature lovers and active holidaymakers.

On site you'll also find a playground, a beach volleyball court and table tennis, ideal for active afternoons. Sport, play and entertainment There's lots to enjoy beyond the water as well. During the high season, an entertainment team organises fun activities for children and families. Active guests can make use of the sports facilities or set off directly from the park on a hike or mountain bike ride. In the surrounding area you'll also find opportunities for paragliding, horse riding and challenging mountain walks. Food, drinks and relaxation After a day full of activities, you can sit down for a relaxed meal at the park's restaurant.
