A reason to raise a glass and to celebrate into the new year with our loved ones. How about a special location this year, for example New Year’s Eve in Carinthia? We have put together some very special ideas for an unusual New Year’s Eve celebration for you. ## 1. Old-town flair If you want to go out with a bang on New Year’s Eve against a truly beautiful backdrop, the New Year’s Eve parties in Klagenfurt or Villach are just the thing. Both towns have a wonderful historic centre and a colourful supporting programme that make New Year’s Eve in Carinthia unforgettable. ## 2. New Year’s Eve hike If you would like to see out the old year actively, you are truly spoilt for choice on New Year’s Eve in Carinthia. Whether a romantic winter walk, a fun snowshoe hike with the whole family or a sporty ski tour up one of the local mountains – there is plenty to choose from. ## 3. Alpine hut magic New Year’s Eve in Carinthia in a rustic alpine hut. Sounds great, doesn’t it? Whether relaxing in front of the open fire in your own chalet or letting your hair down in one of the rustic Carinthian alpine huts – a cosy atmosphere is guaranteed. Traditional delicacies such as a hearty roast pork or a savoury fondue provide the culinary highlights. ## 4. Family time During the year we often have little time for the people closest to our hearts, because we rush from one appointment to the next. How about a peaceful break in a stylish holiday apartment? Here you can sit together cosily with your loved ones in an enchanting atmosphere, pour lead for luck, raise a glass and celebrate into the new year together. ## 5. Lakeside experience On a walk along the shore of the Faaker See you get a particularly good view of the New Year’s Eve fireworks and can start the new year with a wonderful view. ## 6. A spooky New Year’s Eve in Carinthia The south of Austria is known far beyond its borders for its imposing castles and palaces. Some of them offer a New Year’s Eve programme with entertainment and culinary highlights.
