Best Trails of Austria
The Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail is one of the Best Trails of Austria.
The Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail has been a member of the Best Trails of Austria association since 2026 – a strong partnership uniting Austria’s five finest long-distance hiking trails. The aim of the association is to make high-quality long-distance hiking accessible to everyone who wishes to combine nature, wide-open views and relaxation.
The Best Trails of Austria include: alpannonia®, Donausteig, Lechweg, Welterbesteig Wachau and the Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail.
Together, these five premium trails stand for nature-focused hiking with a touch of enjoyment and comfort. They are designed for hikers who prefer mindful walking over peak-bagging, who want to experience impressive landscapes without exposed sections, and who value excellent infrastructure as well as easy-to-walk, well-maintained paths.
All trails combine stunning natural landscapes with unforgettable panoramic views.
Each trail has its own distinct character and special highlights – together they represent certified quality, sustainable nature experiences and long-distance hiking at the highest level.
