Nestling between the highest mountains in Austria on the climatically favoured southern flank of the main range of the Alps lies the
Hohe Tauern National Park Region comprising the main valley Iseltal, Virgental & Kalsertal.
This is impressive country – 80 square kilometres of glacier, 400 mountains with peaks over 3.000 metres high – among them the Großglockner – 3.968 m and the Großvenediger - 3.764 m, countless waterfalls, steep rock faces and ridges a well as extensive and colourful blooming alpine meadows, forests of larch and stone pine, natural springs and moors. Besides a modern infrastructure in the valleys you can still find lots of ancient farmhouses, sacred treasures and historical buildings. A concentrated network of hiking paths and overnight huts invite one to enjoy one of the last untouched areas of paradise to be found in the Alps. Encounters and adventures with a fascinating, high alpine stretch of nature await each and every discoverer who ventures into its realm.
