Lesachtal

The Gail Valley stretches from East Tyrol to Carinthia, between Tilliach and Villach. The valley's appeal lies primarily in its unspoilt nature and the contrast between the flat, wide valley floor and the partly rugged mountain slopes. The Lesach Valley, the Carinthian part of the Gail Valley, stretches for about 20 kilometres parallel to the border between Austria and Italy, bordered by the Gailtal Alps and the foothills of the Lienz Dolomites in the north and the Gailtal Alps in the south. The Lesach Valley is considered the "most unspoilt valley in Europe" and is a paradise for hikers and winter sports enthusiasts. They can reach the most beautiful ski areas south of the Alps in a maximum of 55 minutes. With numerous routes in avalanche-safe areas, the region offers ideal conditions for ski tourers and snowshoe hikers. The valley's culture is mainly influenced by its farming tradition.
