Lake Wörthersee, also known as Austria's Riviera, has always fascinated people thanks to its fabulous beauty. Crystal-clear turquoise water, embedded in an unbelievable setting with a fabulous mountain panorama. The Wörthersee is the warmest alpine lake in Austria and a fixture at the Alpen Adria Swim Cup.
We inspire the swimmers with incredible and safe swimming distances, great food and an unforgettable finish on the famous yellow carpet in Velden.
