The second leg of our Tennis & Bike tour, part of our special feature "Tennis & Bike in Carinthia," takes us to the Parkhotel Pörtschach on Lake Wörthersee . This traditional hotel enjoys a unique peninsula location, boasting a truly exceptional ambiance, and not just because of its setting. The hotel's architecture beautifully blends 1960s charm with modern elements. Three clay courts are located right next to the hotel, where you can enjoy a great game. For cyclists, the hotel offers numerous amenities and a perfect base for all kinds of cycling tours. Whether you're a mountain biker, gravel biker, or road cyclist, every cyclist will find their ideal terrain here! Add to that a stunning landscape with spectacular views of the lake and mountains! We had the pleasure of interviewing Carolin Krassnitzer-Feyock , who is responsible for sales at the hotel, about cycling. And of course, she shared plenty of tour tips, her personal favorite tour, and much more. Stay tuned!
Why do cycling enthusiasts feel so at home with you?At our Parkhotel Pörtschach, active holidays and relaxing lakeside idyll come together perfectly. We are the ideal starting point for a variety of tours of all kinds, from leisurely to challenging. Cycling enthusiasts particularly appreciate the combination of cycle paths, tours, breathtaking views of the lake, and the opportunity to relax directly in Lake Wörthersee after a ride or rejuvenate in our spa area.
What offers do you have specifically for cycling enthusiasts?We have high-quality rental bikes at the hotel; alternatively, rental bikes are also available in town. E-bikes are, of course, available for rent. A bike repair shop and a bike café are within walking distance of the hotel. Many bike tours start directly at the hotel.

Why is Carinthia a wonderful holiday region for tennis-loving cycling fans?Because there are numerous fantastic tours for road bikes, gravel bikes, and mountain bikes. Tours of varying difficulty and length, including flow trails and cross-border stages, can be explored by our guests via the Carinthia tour portal. Cyclists benefit from an excellent network of paths, a mild climate, and a long outdoor season. At the same time, numerous tennis facilities in the region offer ideal conditions for a change of pace. This combination makes Carinthia particularly attractive for anyone who wants to be active both on two wheels and on the tennis court – all nestled within a breathtaking Alpine-Adriatic landscape.
Which bike tours can you particularly recommend to mountain bikers, gravel bikers and road cyclists? Do you have a favorite bike tour?Yes, the Krumpendorf panoramic loop. Beautiful forest paths, not too steep, very varied and with great viewpoints
And finally, the question of all cycling questions: are you an e-biker or still a bio-biker?Both 😉. I use a regular biker for mountain biking, it's just more fun, and I use an e-biker for gravel and road cycling to be able to go on longer tours or to keep up with my husband.
