Knowledge, feeling and a lot of experience
The rangers, guides and mountain guides in the Hohe Tauern National Park are professionals when it comes to nature and mountains. They not only guide you safely up to the highest peaks and back down again, they also give their guests a deep insight into the history of the Hohe Tauern. They promote closeness to nature, an understanding of the unique animal world and convey a feeling for natural processes and procedures.
National Park Experience
Follow our rangers and guides on the "Journey of Water" and get to know the most beautiful spots in our region that water has created over millions of years. At the beginning of your journey to nature is a visit to the multimedia lecture of the Hohe Tauern. Here you will get an impression of what awaits you in nature in impressive pictures. And then off you go, a lot of exciting tours and trips are waiting for you.
On a one-to-one basis with the animals
The wilderness tour takes you to the high mountains of Mallnitz, where you can observe the wildlife of the National Park up close. With our rangers you will get very close to red deer, chamois and bearded vultures. You have a good chance of seeing ibex at the Glocknerhaus in Heiligenblut. Our rangers know when and where!

Guided hikes in the National Park
The program of guided hikes in the Hohe Tauern National Park is really impressive. The tours lead across intact alpine pastures, through larch forests, up to mountain ridges with great views. The Moharrunde is an easy beginner's tour, whereas the tour over the Lonza requires a little more skill and endurance. The Elendrunde lives up to its name, it is long and difficult. The National Park Hiking Day is a special event that brings together everyone who enjoys hiking together.
"Guided" ascent of the summit of the Großglockner
But maybe it's not so much about the animals, but about the mountain as such? If you've always wanted to stand on the summit of the Großglockner, it's best to join a mountain guide. Especially if you are planning a challenging tour over the Stüdlgrat or through the north face to the roof of Austria, an experienced mountain guide may make all the difference.
