Lake Millstatt
Lake Millstatt is located at 588m above sea level on the southern side of the main chain of the Alps and has a mild climate. Average summer temperature in the region is 25ºC. Climatically, the lake is also favoured by an upwind, which provides more sunny days than elsewhere. As the deepest and most water-rich lake in Carinthia, Lake Millstatt is not only very temperature-stable, but also one of the warmest lakes with a surface temperature of up to 22ºC – 25ºC in summer. Bathing season is from May to September.
Biking
A 28km long bike path surrounds Lake Millstatt, which is ideal for beginners, people returning to cycling, or families who want to enjoy a leisurely bike ride. The bike path leads directly through our village, Dellach, and along the route there are numerous opportunities to experience the lake, nature and culinary delights. The bike ride around the lake can also be shortened or combined with the two bike ferries that sail across the lake. Of course, the region also offers more demanding mountain bike and road bike tours, such as “Sternentrail” downhill MTB track or the “Nockalmrunde” circular road course through the Nockberge Mountains.
