Alpine summer – that denotes aromatic hay, extensive flower-filled meadows, the sound of cow bells, taking a deep breath, enjoyment. The alpine pasture is a place filled with glorious romance, but it is also a place of hard, yet rewarding work. In the Hohe Tauern National Park there are some 350 alpine pastures which span 91,000 hectares. No other national park has such a high density of alpine pastures.
Plummeting water, thundering mountain streams which channel their way through the rocks, and crystal clear mountain lakes too - all are natural spectacles which have a particularly strong appeal. The Hohe Tauern National Park with its 26 significant waterfalls, ten gorges, 551 lakes and 279 streams is a real 'water castle' in the Alps.
Adventurous, exciting and at times even dangerous – the day to day life of a National Park Ranger. The fact is that rangers in the Hohe Tauern National Park have a key role to play in maintaining the biggest conservation area in the Alps.
Energy-filled place and the stuff of legend. The Großglockner is far more than the highest summit in Austria. It is a spiritual, energy-filled place, is legendary and has been inspiring people for centuries. At 3798m, the Großglockner is the highest mountain in Austria. It is situated in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, in the midst of a sea of three-thousand metre mountains - 266 summits tower over the mysterious mountain.
Winter in the Hohe Tauern National Park. That means unlimited skiing fun, dreamy ski tours and enchanting winter hikes in the midst of a breath-taking backdrop. Your winter holiday couldn't be any nicer. Amidst romantic mountain villages, deep snow-covered woodlands and dreamy pistes, winter fairy-tales come true.
