Villas in Bad Kleinkirchheim

About Bad Kleinkirchheim

Bad Kleinkirchheim is a spa village of fewer than 2,000 residents in a glacial trough valley of the Gurktal Alps, between the Millstätter See and the upper Gurk river. The populated part of the valley runs from about 980 to 1,380 metres. Our homes are spread over a few kilometres of that valley rather than gathered in one centre, so check how far each one is from the lifts and the shops. Most sleep around four, many have a garden and a minority have a sauna. The Carinthian tourist board lists 103 km of pistes and 25 lifts, plus the Thermal Römerbad and Therme St. Kathrein for after skiing. The ridges above are the Nock Mountains, rounded and grass-covered. The village took the Bad in its name in 1973, after its hot spring.
