1/8

Family-friendly mountain site 10 minutes' drive from Preitenegg
Lakes, alpine walks and subterranean rivers within an hour's drive
Bike hire from site; swimming lake a 15-minute walk away

Where you can find alpine walks, lakes with watersports, modern art and subterranean rivers… all in a sunny climate? It’s not a joke and it’s not a fantasy either: Camping Hebalm is a fab and family-friendly site high in the Austrian alps where everything is possible. Everything mentioned above, anyway… This alpine gem is south facing and 4,593 feet above sea level, so it gets loads of sunshine but stays cooler than the valley below in summer. Overheated lowlanders have been trekking up to nearby Hebalmsee lake for swims and cooling-off purposes since time began, but you can be luxuriating in its waters within an easy 15-minute stroll. Camping Hebalm is a roomy site, with a good mix of shady and sunny spots. Facilities include a beach volleyball court (yes, this far from the coast...), along with a kids’ play area, games room and a teen zone. You can hire bikes from the site to explore the area or head to nearby Preitenegg (10 minutes’ drive or about a 40-minute pedal) for shops, bars and eateries. It’s a good place to stock up for barbecues back at the site and picnics to stuff your knapsack as you traverse the hills and valleys.

Local attractions

Where there’s alps, there’s lakes... and there's loads of choice round here. A 20-minute drive from base, the banana-shaped Packer Stausee is your spot for swimming, sunbathing and boat trips, while an hour and 15 minutes away the lakeside town of Velden-am-Wörthersee sometimes invites comparison with Saint-Tropez: no movie stars and yachts, but watersports aplenty in a surprisingly Med-like climate. For active stuff high up, take cable cars up to the ski resort of Klippitzorl (40 minutes) and bomb down on grass sledges, descend on bike trails of varying peril or just take a hike; there’s a via ferrata route at the top for those who like a scramble. For more extreme alpine terrain, it’s an hour to Petzen: put mountain bikes on the cable car and sail up to the savage peaks of the Karawanken, where biking and hiking trails take you down to the valley floor. From the heights to the depths, an hour away over the border in Slovenia, the former mines of Mežica offer subterranean surprises, like a train ride through a mountainside, a kayak trip down a buried river. Continuing the theme, while looking onto a pleasant city with a extremely modern modern art museum, the Schlossberg in Graz, also an hour away, presents a hilltop fort to the world, and underneath it an alternative town of tunnels used for shelter during the war. Take a cable car or hike to the top, take a train deep down into the mountain... very James Bond.
