As the year draws to a close, it is also heading towards its climax: Christmas. What used to be a time when a very special magic lay over the period is now often more of a stressful marathon for many people. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Because if you let it, you can look forward to the festivities again as an adult. And experience the pre-Christmas season in a particularly atmospheric way. For example, with a luxurious and relaxing stay in Carinthia. Because Advent at Wörthersee is something not to be missed.
Advent am Wörthersee deluxe
In winter, Lake Wörthersee presents itself from its quiet side. When it lies there as smooth as glass, there is nothing to remind you that it is considered a summer hotspot during the warm season. But just because it gets cooler outside doesn’t mean there isn’t enough to do at Lake Wörthersee in winter. For example, Advent at Wörthersee is a very special time, especially for guests of the beautiful Hotel Schloss Seefels. Because here, the 3rd Seefels Advent de luxe begins on November 29, 2024. And anyone who knows the fantastic 5-star superior hotel knows that as a guest, you can expect nothing less than the extraordinary.
After all, you almost feel like royalty when you move into one of the spacious suites of the fairytale neo-Renaissance castle, which are lavishly furnished with original works of art. Relaxing moments in the spa, culinary delights and warm hospitality are a matter of course here. But only for a short time, namely until January 1, 2025, there are also fantastic light installations, beach chairs, fireplaces, punch stands and extraordinary experiences.
Adventinstallation at Hotel Schloss Seefels
This means that not only hotel guests, but also visitors from the region can enjoy an impressive light installation. The 30,000-square-meter private castle garden is transformed into a magical place where everything glitters and sparkles. The path leads through an imposing light tunnel to Advent at the lake. Here, cozy beach chairs on the Porto Bello terrace invite you to relax and unwind. It’s best to nibble on a few hot chestnuts, chocolate-covered fruit or roasted almonds. And don’t forget the delicious mulled wine or punch. If you are in the mood for extravagant Christmas delights, you should try delicacies such as champagne and caviar truffle tarte flambée, Wagyu beef bread and dripping, mini smoked sausages or crêpes with nougat cream.
The infinity curling rink directly on the jetty is also unique. The local curling master is on hand to help and advise players, so that even beginners will soon experience their first sense of achievement. Or how about a little photo posing by the Carinthian Herzerlbaum? The lakeside pool is also open to guests. As you swim through the 28 degree warm water and look at the stars that twinkle above you, you are sure to get into the Christmas spirit. The day can finally come to a worthy climax with an enjoyable cigar on the terrace.
Wonderful Getaway: Advent de luxe
Relax, let yourself be pampered and marvel at the endless beauty around you: The Advent deluxe at the Hotel Schloss Seefels gets you in the mood for the most wonderful time of the year without the need for kitsch or consumerism. It is open from November 29, 2024 to January 1, 2025, every Friday and Saturday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. However, a visit is even more enjoyable if you can stay for several nights.
