Joggers, too, will find practically endless routes to choose from. If you want to time your circuits, you can head for the two marked trails exactly five and ten kilometres in length. Cycling An extensive network of cycle paths makes biking in the scenic Carinthian countryside pure pleasure. Go for a leisurely run along the river or try the trails up into the mountains. It just depends on the weather, your mood and level of fitness. If you have left your bike at home, not to worry - you can rent one here. Golf Our exclusive golf school, just 300 yards fromt the hotels, with qualified PGA professional, driving range, pitching and putting green is the best preparation for the beautiful golf courses in Carinthia, Italy and Slovenia that are within easy reach of Warmbad. In spring 2005 the 18-hole Schloss Finkenstein Alpine-Adriatic golf course has opened its doors. Now it will only be a few minutes from the hotel to the first tee and you can look forward to a fabulous course with an impressive clubhouse in a lovely old building. Warmbad spa resort guests are entitled to special benefits in Golfland Carinthia, for example 20% green fee reduction at all members’ courses! In the pre-season and the off-peak season you even get a 30% green fee. Further information at: www.golfland.kaernten.at Flyfishing Guests of the Spa Resort Warmbad-Villach can have day tickets & weekly tickets for fishing in Carinthis’s unspoilt river – 7 km along the river Gail and its tributaries. The fish stocks include trout as well as fish indigenous to the area … ( saibling, esche, and even huche) Tennis The Warmbad tennis camp is one of the country’s best tennis schools. It has ten outdoor and five indoor courts, individual tuition with tactics, smash or volley courses and advanced programmes for top players. Our tennis school organises the extremely popular “camp weeks” all year round for every level of ability - from beginners to championship players. It’s fun training with like-minded people, especially when there’s also singles and doubles tournaments, video analysis, chalet or casino evenings. Equally popular are the private lessons with our coach. If you are simply looking for someone to play with, try our tennis partner matching service. Water sports If the weather is good, you can expect pleasant thermals on Lake Ossiach, which is only a few minutes’ drive away by motorway. The rowing club is to be found on its southern shores, while water skiers will be more at home in Annenheim. Even nearer is Lake Faak: motorboats are banned here so the turquoise blue jewel lends itself for swimming, sailing and windsurfing. Walking & hiking A number of woodland trails right beside the hotel take you to Napoleon’s Meadows and the famous Maibacherl where the sought-after warm water only gurgles up in spring. Walkers will find well-marked footpaths in the surrounding mountains and round the many smaller and larger lakes. Improve your stamina on Villach’s local mountains, Dobratsch and Gerlitzen, explore the nature reserve at nearby Schütt with its lovely flora and fauna or simply stroll along the lakeside promenade in Velden. Alpine winter sports Here you are in the midst of Carinthia’s top ski areas. The nearby sunny ski mountains of Gerlitzen and Dreiländereck attract both skiers and snowboarders with their assurance of good snow conditions and perfectly groomed runs. Alternative winter sports Cross-country skiers will also find superb trails in the immediate vicinity with the Dobratsch’s high-altitude trail having the best prospects for good snow conditions. When Carinthia’s lakes freeze over, you can safely venture onto the ice – even without skates it’s fun watching people of all ages out enjoying themselves! Winter walking: a good alternative for anyone who prefers more leisurely activities. In Warmbad you will always find cleared paths where you can safely enjoy the winter countryside.
