Find and Set Up Your Pitch on the Terraces

Terrassencamping’s hallmark is right in the name: terraces. This design helps open views to Lake Ossiach and the surrounding mountains from many pitches.

Navigate the terraces

• Use the Platzplan 2025 to understand terrace tiers and access lanes.
• Move slowly and give yourself space when positioning your vehicle or trailer on a slope.

Level and settle

• Because terraces step down the hillside, it’s wise to carry simple leveling aids for campers or caravans.
• Position for a view and comfort: angle your setup for both privacy and a satisfying lake-and-mountain panorama.

If you reserved a rental unit

• Head to your accommodation listed under Unsere Mieteinrichtungen and do a quick walkthrough. Keep the Lageplan handy for getting around afterward.
