Alpine horse-riding – on the trail of the “sumpters”
For centuries adventurous tradesmen known as "sumpters" transported wine, salt and gold to far away towns and ports on the backs of their packhorses. Immerse yourself in those long lost golden times and explore the old trade routes of the National Park on horseback.

Waterfalls and gorges walking tours
For millions of years the elemental force of water has moulded and shaped the mountainous landscape of the Hohe Tauern! In the process it has left behind for us masterpieces of the Creation: waterfalls plummeting down into the valleys over sky-high rock faces and through deep and mysterious gorges.
Trekking in the Hohe Tauern National Park
Trekking – from one place to another. In rhythm with nature and looking it in the eye. This is the magic to which more and more people are yielding. In Nepal, in New Zealand, or on the road to Santiago. And in the Hohe Tauern too! From refuge hut to refuge hut, past mountain lakes and tarns, waterfalls and glaciers, and up to high passes. Time and again in the valleys and mountains new miniature worlds will reveal themselves before your very eyes.
Großglockner & Co.: the most beautiful summit tours
The Großglockner’s summit soars 3,798m into the heavens. Higher than any other summit in Austria. A magic mountain in the midst of the Hohe Tauern’s fascinating high mountain world, where more than 100 peaks top the 3,000m mark. Scale the most impressive summits of the Hohe Tauern in the company of our certified mountain guides!

Our concern is to bring you closer to this natural world of wonders, whilst filling your holiday with unforgettable first-hand experiences.
Seven Summits in the Hohe Tauern National Park
“Seven Summits”? This phrase makes tacit reference to the highest summits of the seven continents. Don’t worry though; we don’t intend to climb Mount Everest! But we have selected seven terrific target summits for you, all in the Hohe Tauern National Park. We cordially invite you to an unforgettable expedition across the entire National Park!
Fixed-rope-routes in the Hohe Tauern National Park
The Hohe Tauern National Park offers fixed-rope-route enthusiasts some of the most spectacular “iron paths” in the whole of Austria. Examples are those on the 200 metre high Fallbach waterfall in the Malta valley, and on the Säuleck at an altitude of over 3,000 metres. But beginners are catered for too and will find several worthwhile fixed rope routes for practising.
Climbing in the National Park
The Malta valley is among the best and most significant primary rock climbing areas in Austria. Exciting new routes are continually being established on the best rock and in a fabulous setting. But also worth a visit are the “climbing garden” on the Danielsberg in the Möll valley, near the Reißeck funicular, as well as the new climbing centre in the vicinity of the Arthur-von-Schmid House!
