The Hohe Tauern National Park
The largest national park in the entire Alps exceeds the wildest alpine expectations: Over 250 peaks above 3,000 metres and 342 glaciers can be found in this pristine, protected region. At its heart is the Großglockner, Austria’s highest mountain, towering at 3,798 metres. The famous Großglockner High Alpine Road offers thrilling, winding drives – though it’s closed in winter.
The home of eagles, ibex, and marmots can be explored with national park rangers in the great outdoors. The National Park Museum in Mittersill creatively showcases the park’s highlights under one roof.
