Snow-white voyage of discovery

As soon as the first blanket of snow covers the mountains and valleys, it is clear: winter is here. But the white splendour does not remain untouched: Large and small animal tracks show that nature is not completely at rest - the perfect time for fresh air lovers to experience and explore the beauty of the Hohe Tauern National Park and the habitat of red deer, snow hare & Co. in many ways.

An exciting programme attracts nature lovers, active holidaymakers and families alike to the idyllic landscape, whose beauty is unparalleled in the cold season. Experienced national park rangers take you on winter and snowshoe hikes - e.g. to the Rauris primeval forest, the quiet Sulzbach valleys or the "cradle forest of stone pines" in the high alpine Stubach valley.

And ski tourers also get their money's worth in the Hohe Tauern National Park: the tranquillity of the mountains invites you to relax in the fresh air and listen to the sounds of nature. Meanwhile, you climb alpine terrain and are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views and a beautiful descent through firn or deep snow. The eight ski areas in the holiday region are perhaps among the best-kept secret tips in the Alps.
