The Nockberge mountain region in Carinthia is criss-crossed by a network of well-signposted and secure mountain bike trails that covers hundreds of kilometers, stretching from Lake Millstätter See into the Lieser and Malta Valley all the way to Katschberg.
Summiteers will be thrilled about the ‘Nock Five’ package. Guided by a cycling professional you get the chance to experience the top five of the Nockberge mountains in a unique 4-day tour during your sports holiday in Carinthia. Be rewarded with impressive mountain panoramas and refuel over hearty delicacies, which taste even better when served on a summit!
Riders encircling the lake along the ‘Panoramatour’ will be rewarded with fantastic views over Lake Millstätter See and the surrounding mountain ranges. Especially recommended for families to shake a leg together. Demanding freeride tours amid Carinthia featuring downhill passages and single trails via Feld am See are technically more challenging. The bike center of the Krainer sports school is located in the family and sports village Feld am See. Offering a wide range of services for active holidays in Carinthia, the needs of cyclists are satisfied with bike rental, guided mountain bike tours and cycling technique training. There is also a bike shuttle service available, connecting the villages of Feld am See, Untertweng, Radenthein and Döbriach. Registration necessary the day before up until 5 p.m.
The current Nockberge region bike program can be found here. The tours are guided and put together by our bike partner, Ski & Sportschule Krainer.
