Defereggental

With its villages Hopfgarten i. D. at 1.107 m above sea level, St. Jakob i. D. at 1.389 m above sea level and St. Veit i. D. at 1.495 m above sea level, the Defereggental is one of the least populated areas in the Austrian Alps. 

 

This can be seen and felt in Defereggental at every turn, because the hustle and bustle and the big party life happen elsewhere. 

 

But this place provides something else, which rest and relaxation seekers will highly appreciate: peace, unspoiled nature and originality. You will hardly find another place in Tirol that is more authentic and genuine.

The Defereggental is located in the heart of Nationalpark Hohe Tauern and is perfectly framed and surrounded by mountains of the “Deferegger Gebirge”, the “Rieserfernergruppe”, the “Lasörlinggruppe” and the “Schobergruppe”. In addition to the scenic attractions, this has essential and characterising consequences. The protection of the National Park Hohe Tauern makes the Defereggental one of the most untouched high mountain valleys in the Alps. With our webcams you can take a direct look at the unspoilt Defereggental.
