The most natural world of experience in the Alps
The mountains need no staging.
As the largest protected natural area in the Alps, the Nationalpark Hohe Hohe Tauern Tirol offers an infinite number of impressive experiences. Observe wild animals together with national park rangers, experience incredibly sensual atmospheres on guided tours or explore the eternal ice of the glacier landscapes.
In Tyrol, the Hohe Tauern National Park extends over 611 km², of which 347 km² fall within the strictly protected core zone, the rest is the outer zone. Alpine farming measures are promoted in this area in order to preserve the scenic landscape. The Hohe Tauern are the roof of Austria. With the highest mountain in our country, the Grossglockner at 3798 m above sea level, a total of 266 peaks tower over 3000 m into the sky.
The Hohe Tauern National Park offers a wealth of adventure opportunities. Tirol has 1200 km of well-marked and maintained hiking trails, numerous nature trails for independent exploration, excursions led by national park rangers, wildlife observations and much more.
Hiking in lonely heights can be a counterbalance to the stress of work - being out and about under your own steam for a few days is an experience in itself!
In East Tyrol, the offers range from wildlife watching with spotting scopes and binoculars, glacier explorations and valley crossings to special hikes on various themes. Also worth mentioning are the many themed trails. A highlight: Oberhaus wildlife observation tower.
The 22 m high tower towers above the tree canopy of the Oberhaus stone pine forest and offers a fantastic view. With a little patience and luck, you can spot marmots, red deer or chamois on the opposite side of the valley through the spotting scope on the tower.
The National Park Hohe Tauern in Osttirol stands for an intact natural landscape and for authentic customs and grown culture like hardly any other region in Austria. With their special qualities, Osttirol and the National Park Hohe Tauern are kindred spirits and, with their unspoilt character. This is particularly topical in times when people are once again looking for more natural and credible experiences.
