Nationalparkregion Hohe Tauern
1.000 - 3.798 meters
Vacation in the Nationalparkregion Hohe Tauern
In the Nationalparkregion Hohe Tauern, senses are stimulated.
Water is so clear as glass, the meadows are green and pure mountain air is like nowhere.
The world in this part of Tyrol is beautiful. Here the marmots feel great, and that's a good thing that you just can admire here.
The daily stress and the hectic life are nowhere to be found. A great opportunity to enjoy nature in a sportly and fun way.
Mountain Sports
A beautiful setting, for various forms of mountaineering.
The region is naturally in Osttirol, and therefore there is really a very wide range.
For example in hiking in the mountains, but also for canyoning and paragliding.
Water Sports
Water Sports are offered at various locations in the region, including opportunities for rafting. Also fishing is possible.
Would you like to go swimming, there are both in Virgen as in Matrei in Osttirol beautiful pools. Especially in Virgen, where the swimming pool operates entirely on solar energy.
The Osttiroler Krampustage.
The Osttiroler Krampustage are a spectacle of very high level and high cultural value.
In the time before Christmas in Tyrol the evil forces and spirits are driven away in this way.
The Krampuswalking takes place every year in early December, and comes from a very old tradition.
Hand Carved masks, thick fur and giant clocks provide an unforgettable atmosphere.
We really recommended to spend some time in the region in early December!
