Padel in Klagenfurt — Carinthia Steps Up

Klagenfurt became Carinthia’s padel hotspot in 2026. With the opening of Arena ONE in March 2026, the city’s court count jumped from 3 to 12 — a massive leap. The provincial capital now offers one of Austria’s most modern padel halls alongside an established outdoor venue with a strong community.

Arena ONE Klagenfurt

Südring 211, 9020 Klagenfurt am Wörthersee → Book now via Wansport

Carinthia’s largest and most modern padel facility. 9 courts — 6 indoor and 3 outdoor — in a purpose-built hall on the Südring. Arena ONE was built in the former Jump World One space and designed from the ground up as a professional padel centre with its own academy.

What you get:

• 6 indoor + 3 outdoor courts
• Padel: 08:00–22:00 daily
• Book via Wansport app (digital reservation, cost splitting, free cancellation up to 48h)
• Café/bistro (breakfast, snacks, warm meals)
• Macron shop (rackets, balls, apparel, rental equipment)
• Physiotherapy, massage, osteopathy
• Seminar and event space
• Carinthia’s first padel academy (beginners through to competitive players, school partnerships)

Best for: Arena ONE is a dedicated padel centre — not a tennis club with courts bolted on. If you want serious training, professional academy coaching, or simply the best indoor facilities in Carinthia, this is the place. The 6 indoor courts make it playable year-round.

Pricing: From €10/person (weekdays before 16:00, 4 players). Evenings and weekends €12/person. Current rates via Wansport.
