Nature adventure Discover the Hohe Tauern National Park region in Carinthia up close

Experience real farm holidays in the Hohe Tauern National Park region in Carinthia - and discover one of the most pristine natural landscapes in the Alps.

Here, nature becomes an adventure playground: deer graze in the meadows, birds chirp at dawn and young ibex leap over rocky outcrops in the distance. Accompanied by a national park ranger, you will discover hidden beauties and exciting natural phenomena, sometimes right behind the farm.

Have you ever found fossils in a stream bed? Or panned for gold in rubber boots? Nature has new surprises in store every day in this region.

A special highlight: the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, a masterpiece of Alpine roads, leads over 48 kilometers with 36 hairpin bends up to the 2,571-meter-high Edelweiss Peak, the highest drivable point in Austria. From there, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of over 30 three-thousand-meter peaks of the Hohe Tauern.

Hiking enthusiasts will also get their money's worth: the Mölltal Glacier cable cars take you almost up to 3,000 meters above sea level. The choice of tours is impressive - from challenging summit tours to leisurely family hikes through the alpine landscape, everything is included.

Tip: The Kärnten Card is included at some businesses in summer and therefore includes numerous excursion destinations and mountain railroads in Carinthia.
Alternatively: If you stay at a certified National Park partner business, you benefit from genuine, sustainable vacation experiences with exclusive inclusive services such as guided ranger tours in summer & winter.
