A long-distance hiking experience in a class of its own!
You will hike above the valley on gentle mountain ridges, always accompanied by an overwhelming view! The "Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail" makes it true. The view from the southern Kitzbühel Alps across the Pinzgau region to the glaciated giants of the Hohe Tauern National Park enjoys an almost legendary reputation, and rightly so: "Strung like a string of pearls, dozens of three-thousand-metre peaks rise into the deep blue sky, from the Großvenediger to the Großglockner, the Kitzsteinhorn and the Großes Wiesbachhorn."
