The first written document mentioning Bad Kleinkirchheim dates back to July 5th 1166. Eleven years later the town in Carinthia makes an appearance in a document written by Pope Alexander III that is today in the possession of the Public Record Office in Vienna. The municipality of Bad Kleinkirchheim was founded several centuries later in 1850. Bad Kleinkirchheim was granted the title ‘Bad’ – German for spa resort – in 1935. Ever since, your picturesque holiday resort in Carinthia has attracted holidaymakers from all over the world.

800 snow cannons cover 97 per cent of the slopes in the Nockberge Mountains – guaranteeing you perfect snow conditions for your skiing holiday in Bad Kleinkirchheim, Austria.

The Bad Kleinkirchheim ski region is the home of Olympic champion Franz Klammer. Twice during the ski season you can have the chance to ski with him on the slopes of Bad Kleinkirchheim. Fast-paced descents and focused tutoring – these are hallmarks of the Early Morning Skiing.
