Hiking in Heiligenblut am Großglockner

The most beautiful hikes, most scenic hiking trails & tours in the Hohe Tauern National Park

On the trail of nature at every turn in the largest protected area in the Alps. The Hohe Tauern and the national park of the same name are your territory if you are looking for the most beautiful hikes and hiking trails.

The mountains have an alpine feel, but do not have to be conquered in a daring manner. The views of the peaks and mountains of the Hohe Tauern are all the better for those who walk along wonderful hiking trails and have the time and leisure to pause and gaze into the distance.

Lace up your hiking boots & pack your rucksack

We start our hike early. It's summer and the forecast is for a gloriously hot sunny day. We cover meter after meter from the valley to the mountain with the Großglockner cable cars. This is an advantage in two respects: we save meters of ascent and at an altitude of over 2,000 meters we don't feel the summer heat as much. From the mountain station, we start our hike along the Tauern Window Geotrail, a scenic tour to the Hochtor. Oh, how beautiful life is when you can enjoy it in the mountains.

From the green alpine pastures to the eternal ice

In addition to the cable cars in Heiligenblut, it is above all the Grossglockner High Alpine Road that provides convenient and direct access to the high mountains. The asphalted "Dream Path of the Alps" takes you to the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe in no time at all, where some of the most breathtaking hiking experiences that the Hohe Tauern have to offer await you. Start right away on the famous Gamsgrubenweg (currently accessible until the end of Tunnel 6) or set off on a tour on the glacier trail to the Pasterze. The Großglockner will be watching you.
