Sunshine, crystal clear streams, alpine pastures, mountains and beautiful views, all are waiting for you here in Lessach the “village of good wishes’.

Be active, explore the traditions or simply relax, there is something for everyone and all ages. Experience it all from your base here at Chalet Gove.

Step inside and immediately relax as we endeavour to make you feel at home and help you enjoy a wonderful holiday here in one of the sunniest and prettiest parts of Austria. We have four very spacious bedrooms with super en-suite bathrooms and a lovely lounge and dining room (see accommodation). We provide the catered chalet experience of breakfast, afternoon cake and evening meal with complimentary wine (not every night, as there are some great places for you to eat out at and you’ll be surprised at the very reasonable prices).

Step outside and breathe in the fresh clear air and decide what to do! You are at the start of numerous valley walks, mountain hikes, cycle rides or simply sit in the garden, sunbathe and take in the view. A few minutes ride down the valley and the range of summer activities open to you is endless.

Summer Events
For the fitness fanatics there are organised marathons, triathlons and cycle tours and mountain bike challenges to name just some of the activities available.

The local castles and churches also have their own special events and concerts in addition to their daily opening to visitors.

For a more detailed list of what is available see our ‘Things to Do’ page.

Every week of the Summer and right in to early Autumn you will be able to experience a wide range of cultural, historical and sporting events here in Lessach and the surrounding villages and towns.

For example every Wednesday evening in the main square of Tamsweg you can enjoy a traditional concert or the Z’sammsitz’n - tables and chairs and stalls are put out in the Square and families, friends and visitors can sit eat and drink and listen to traditional music. The stalls sell all sorts of local produce, food, drink and crafts are available to purchase and of course the stall holders serving food and drink will also serve you at your table. Local musicians and singers move around to entertain you.

Most weeks you will be able to experience a Samson parade; a giant mythical character (6.2m tall and 105kg) parades and dances for you to the music of the local brass band plus you may be treated to a celebratory round of rifle fire from the traditional shooting club soldiers!

Many of the alpine huts have their own cultural events serving local produce and providing entertainment for all ages and there are numerous other traditional festivals and events to enjoy.
