The most beautiful day-trip destinations for families between Nassfeld and the Weißensee Lake
Our Kinderhotel Ramsi is located not far from the town of Hermagor in an enchanting region in southern Austria. It has a lot to offer: Between the Nassfeld mountain region and the Weißensee Lake, there are endless mountain & lake experiences and culinary delights to be enjoyed all year round. And if you feel like it, you can make a quick detour to neighbouring Italy or Slovenia. It’s not far at all!
The Nassfeld is a world-class adventure mountain, and its valley station for the cable cars is only a five-minute drive from our family hotel.
In summer you can hike, bike, climb, do archery and all sorts of other things. Dreamlike landscapes will enchant you in the Weißensee Lake Nature Park. This lake as well as the Pressegger Lake, the largest “bathtub” in Carinthia, invite you to swim and splash in summer!
In winter, on the other hand, the Nassfeld area is a top destination for skiing, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The Weißensee Lake freezes regularly in the cold season and becomes the largest natural ice rink in Europe.

When the Weissensee lake freezes; ice skating XXXL on Europe’s largest natural ice-skating rink
Believe us, you’ve never seen anything like it! When the Weissensee lake freezes in winter, it becomes the largest natural ice-skating rink in Europe. A huge, glistening ice surface, surrounded by wintry landscapes, that will light up your eyes. It is an incomparable experience gliding across a perfectly polished surface, a winter fairy-tale straight from the pages of a storybook.
It is not uncommon for the lake to freeze, often there is already a fine, transparent skin as early as the end of November. By mid-December, the ice is usually so strong and durable that the ice masters can start nursing it. Up to 25 kilometres of ice-skating rinks for young and not so young skaters, tracks for curlers, places for ice hockey cracks and a 400-metre track for speed skaters are cleaned and groomed. As soon as it is opened to the public, the cheerful hustle and bustle begins.
The closest entrance to the XXXL ice rink on the Weissensee lake is only about a 30 minutes’ drive from the Kinderhotel Ramsi.
Tracks in the snow; cross-country skiing, ski tour and winter hiking paradise Nassfeld and Weissensee lake
Snowy landscapes, glittering ice crystals and bright blue skies; such a winter day with us at the Kinderhotel Ramsi can be rather quaint and are perfect for small tours of our region. Discover the wintry beauties of the Nassfeld, the Carnic Alps and the Gailtal Alps on foot, with snowshoes, touring skis or cross-country skis. For cross-country skiing enthusiasts, the Weissensee region proves to be a small paradise, for here you can cross the frozen surface of the lake, amongst other things.
We offer a wide range of cross-country trails (over 100 well-tracked routes), guided ski tours, snowshoe walks and winter hikes. Just ask at our reception where we will be happy to organise a professional tour guide and the necessary equipment for you. If you prefer to travel on your own, we will gladly give you some great tour advice and tips for cross-country skiing.
Enjoy the dreamlike winter landscapes on your outdoor adventures, and upon your return to the Kinderhotel Ramsi, the heated sauna will be waiting for you.

Overheard in Ramsi’s Nature Adventure World:
“Border? What border?” The morning sun shone as the Alpine chough perched happily on the summit cross of the Gartnerkofel mountain and let her gaze wander far across the mountains to Italy and Slovenia.
