Skiing in Bad Kleinkirchheim, ice skating right outside the door when it gets cold enough - and a hotel that is open in winter.
In summer, Lake Brennsee is loud and busy. In winter, the opposite happens: the village goes quiet, the lake lies still, and the mountains all around take on a colour of their own. We are open all year round - even when the sun loungers have long been put away.
10 % early-bird bonus for winter - for everyone who books or enquires for their winter holiday by 30 Nov 2026. Directly with us, no booking portals.

When Lake Brennsee freezes over, the jetty becomes a terrace: a glass on the ice, tracks in fresh snow, the dog in its coat leading the way. And some guests even go into the water in winter - voluntarily.
The slopes of Bad Kleinkirchheim aren't right on the doorstep, but close enough for a relaxed day of skiing. A ski bus runs during the winter season - so you don't necessarily need your own car. Equipment is available from the rental shops on site, and if you'd like lessons, the Sportschule Kreiner is a well-established address. We'll gladly tell you the exact timetable and conditions once your dates are fixed - they change from season to season.
In cold winters, Lake Brennsee freezes solid - and the swimming lake in front of the house turns into a sheet of ice. That's the moment our regulars come back for. To be honest: we can't guarantee it. Whether and when the ice is safe is decided by the weather, not by us. Ask us shortly before you arrive and we'll tell you how things look.
There are several toboggan runs in the region, some of them floodlit in the evening. It's the kind of afternoon you don't plan and yet remember the longest - especially when the sauna is waiting afterwards.
Just send us a quick enquiry - we'll tell you honestly what the snow conditions are like.
If you're not looking for the bustle of the slopes, you'll find groomed cross-country trails around Bad Kleinkirchheim and in the Nock Mountains. Quieter, cheaper and, for many, the nicer way to experience winter.
The Nock Mountains can be explored under snow too - on snowshoes you reach the places where the hiking trails run in summer. And where it's busy in summer, you're often on your own in winter.
We don't claim that Lake Brennsee is the perfect place for every winter holiday. In our magazine we've written down where the strengths lie and where the limits are - so that you know before booking, not afterwards.
Just send us a quick enquiry - we'll tell you honestly what the snow is like and what's possible in your preferred period.
