With Backpack and Heart – Exploring the Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail

The Hohe Tauern National Park is one of Europe’s most impressive natural treasures. Over 1,800 square kilometers of alpine diversity stretch across Salzburg, Tyrol, and Carinthia. And right in the middle: the Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail, a long-distance hiking trail of superlatives. In 17 stages and over 275 kilometers, it offers spectacular panoramas, exciting nature experiences, and charming villages – a true retreat for body and mind.

Long-distance Hiking with Views and Challenges

From the mighty Krimml Waterfalls, a true place of power, to the quiet Hüttschlag in Pongau, the trail goes up and down – covering a total of about 14,000 meters in elevation. The tour is not for occasional hikers, but perfect for those seeking an intense connection with nature. Highlights such as Lake Zell, the gentle Pinzgau Grass Mountains, or the historic Rauris Valley provide unforgettable moments.
