Where are the most beautiful lido beaches in Carinthia?

Eleven lido beaches around Lake Millstätter See invite you to take a dip – from Seeboden via Millstatt to Döbriach, some of which are free with the Millstätter See Inclusive Card. At Lake Maltschacher See and Lake Flatschacher See, there are one or two public lido beaches each with free entry, ideal for a peaceful day by the water. 

Before you set off, it’s worth checking the current lake temperatures.

Carinthia’s oldest diving platform

I climb the steps; Lake Millstätter See glistens below me, and the Nockberge Mountains stand still on the horizon. Whether from the three-metre, five-metre or ten-metre platform, the warm, velvety water awaits. Since 1930, generations of bathers have taken the plunge here – and I am one of them. 

Year of construction: 1930/31 
Listed as a historic monument: since 2008 
Height: just under 13 metres 
Diving platforms: 3 m, 5 m and 10 m 
Two water slides
