At eye level with Austria's highest mountains
Europe's largest waterfalls, ancient glaciers and legendary trade routes. Golden eagles, chamois and a unique source of emeralds. Austria's mighiest mountains, picturesque villages and an internationally recognised wilderness area: in the Hohe Tauern National Park, nature plays all the parts, one superlative follows the next...
A long-distance hiking experience in a class of its own!
Hike high above the valley on gentle mountain ridges and let the overwhelming views take your breath away. The Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail makes it all possible. The views from the Kitzbühel Alps over Pinzgau to the glaciated mountain giants of the Hohe Tauern National Park are legendary: "Dozens of three thousand metre peaks from the Grossvenediger to the Kitzsteinhorn to the Grossglockner rise like a string of pearls into the deep blue sky."
