Summary Gerlitzen

Summary of the ski resort Gerlitzen

Description Gerlitzen

The Gerlitzen Alpe ski resort is similar in style to South Tyrol’s Kronplatz. At the top of the Gerlitzen (1,911 m), the lifts from Kanzelhöhe, Klösterle, and Birkenhof all converge from different directions. The entire ski area is virtually at your feet, and from up here you can access all the slopes. The detachable eight-seater chairlift Neugarten 8er-Carving-Jet serves the easy and exceptionally wide Neugarten run. There is also a ski route here.

A beautiful forest trail run leads along the Klösterle lifts down to Klösterle at 1,000 m. In Klösterle itself, there is a practice area with conveyor belts and rope tows. The detachable four-seater chairlifts Klösterlebahn I and II quickly take you back up to the Gerlitzen.

Intermediate runs lead down to Kanzelhöhe at 1,500 m. From the slopes, you have a wonderful view of the Karawanken mountains and can also branch off to the runs served by the double chairlifts Moser and Pöllinger. This area is ideal for beginners, as both lifts provide access to intermediate and easy slopes above Kanzelhöhe. At Kanzelhöhe, the four-person gondola from Annenheim ends, conveniently bringing day guests up to the Gerlitzen – from there, the detachable four-seater chairlift with weather hoods Gipfelbahn takes you to the summit. The free parking spaces and parking garage in Annenheim are just 3 km from the Villach motorway exit.

Additional runs lead from Gerlitzen Alpe towards Birkenhof/Bodensdorf. The intermediate Wörthersee run leads to Bergeralm and the Mountain Resort Feuerberg. You can continue down via the Birkenhof run to the lift of the same name, and if there is snow down to the valley, a challenging ski route runs 9 km down to Bodensdorf. The Wörthersee 6er Family-Jet chairlift then takes you from the Feuerberg Mountain Resort back up to the Gerlitzen.

Next to the Feuerberg Mountain Resort, you’ll find the Lodron platter lift and a ski school area with rope tow and conveyor belt. Throughout the ski day, you can enjoy magnificent views of the Karawanken, the Nockberge, and across Lake Wörthersee to Klagenfurt. There are several charming and cozy huts scattered throughout the ski area for refreshments.

If you wish, you can also drive up to the Gerlitzen via a toll road. However, we recommend using the gondola from Annenheim or the chairlifts from Klösterle.
