Ringing in the New Year in a snowy winter landscape

Day 1: Switzerland - Villach
Travel via St. Gallen to Munich and past Salzburg. Arrival in charming Villach.
Day 2: Lake Wörthersee
Excursion to Lake Wörthersee with a local guide. Today's route passes numerous filming locations of well-known film and television productions, with stops at the pilgrimage centre of Maria Wörth and the western bay of Velden with the famous "Castle on Lake Wörthersee". Guided walk in Klagenfurt. The city lies between Lake Wörthersee and the Karawanken range. Thanks to its many magnificent buildings, squares and cosy arcaded courtyards, it has a Mediterranean feel.
Day 3: Lake Ossiach
Today you explore Lake Ossiach and visit Ossiach Abbey Church, a baroque gem. Along the Villacher Alpe/Dobratsch panoramic road, impressive views of the surrounding mountain ranges await you, together with a regional Carinthian culinary speciality. In the afternoon, visit the shopping town of Spittal an der Drau and the inner courtyard of Porcia Castle, a Renaissance jewel known for its annual comedy plays and the legend of Countess Salamanca, who, according to the stories, still haunts the castle as a ghost. The old countess can be seen again and again walking along a corridor and disappearing through a door.
Day 4: Lake Faak and Villach
Today discover the Alpe-Adria region of Lake Faak and Villach - the gateway to the south. The Karawanken range rises majestically above crystal-clear Lake Faak with its small island. Afterwards, enjoy a stroll through the lively city of Villach, with its Mediterranean touch, a carnival stronghold in winter and full of fair fever in summer. In the evening, a festive New Year's Eve programme awaits you.
Day 5: Millstatt and Gmünd
In the afternoon, drive to Lake Millstatt, where you can discover the sculpture park by the lake, the bathhouse or the Romanesque cloister and the interesting abbey church.
