Chamois and summit view

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the viewing platform you have a great view of the wide Carinthian region and on to Slovenia. With a bit of luck, you might even catch a glimpse of chamois or one or two eagles gliding through the air.

July 13, 2024,🇦🇹 Dobratsch ab Rosstratte 🇦🇹

Two paths lead from the Rosstratte car park (also accessible by bus) to the Dobratsch: the normal forest path and the Jägersteig. The latter is the much more beautiful path, but you should not be afraid of heights because of some exposed areas.

Holiday tour number 6
On the Dobratsch

The starting point of the hike is the last parking lot on the Villach Alpine Road. Driving on it costs 19 euros by car.

If you come early, you should stop at a few parking spaces on the street. We were running late again and so we went up without stopping.

A clear round with a moderate incline and altitude difference. The nicer path is definitely the Jägersteig, in the morning it is still shady and cool. Pleasant on hot summer days 😎. The way back is gravel and not really pleasant to go down (the Jägersteig down is not easy either). Fast friendly service in the summit restaurant and dogs …

The climb is not without its challenges; there are 2 to 4 crossings that you have to master carefully. It's better to go slowly and get to the destination. The view is really great; how beautiful must it be without a sea of fog.

September 18, 2022,Dobratsch via Jägersteig im September

Hike Dobratsch via Jägersteig. Some of the first snow is already lying. Some passages on the Jägersteig were washed out.
Good shoes and sure-footedness are required.
It is an advantage to have gloves, a hood or a headband with you.

July 5, 2025,🇦🇹 Villach: ⛰️Dobratsch - Jägersteig & Panoramaweg

This morning, clouds lingered on the highest mountain peaks. Since the sun was still shining, we drove up the Villach Alpine Road. With every meter of elevation, the cloud and fog soup became increasingly dense. We arrived at parking lot 11, where visibility was virtually zero in places, but the fog cleared every now and then. So we quickly slipped …

May 25, 2025,Naturpark Dobratsch – Dobratsch Gipfelhaus Runde von Villacher Alpenstraße

So, on our first day at Lake Ossiach, we went on a hike. We drove up the Villach Alpine Road. From there, we walked to the Dorbatsch summit cross and stopped at the summit house for an apple strudel. We hiked the Alpine route, which was really challenging.
I highly recommend it.
