How do you get to Heiligenblut?London Stanstead to Klagenfurt with Ryanair2 hour drive through lovely scenery and then up a long valley where right at the end, you get to Heiligenblut.
Whats the town actually like…It’s not big it’s really a village so it’s pretty quiet there’s some lovely hotels there including the 4* Kärntnerhof which is where I stayed. The standard of the hotel accommodation is really high and the food was excellent too. It’s very much settle into the hotel territory and enjoy relaxing, it’s not party central.
The skiingIt’s definitely for the more adventurous skier It’s not a huge resort in terms of the mileage with around 50km’s of marked runs The longest is 10 kilometresReally good snow record and the village is at 1300 metres and it goes up to 2600 metresThe mix of really long runs and the off-piste terrain is the draw, plus the scenery and the fact it’s such a cool mountain
