The best way to see the Villacher Alpes up close is via the Villach Alpine Road. This spectacular 17-kilometer toll road winds its way from Villach high up to the 2,166-meter Dobratsch, the region's highest peak and a popular natural park and tourist attraction.
Along with the dramatic panoramic views of Villach, the road leads to the 1,732-meter Rosstratte, with its views from the Julian Alps all the way to the Karawanken mountains and the Carinthian lake plateau.
