Maximum comfort for ambitious hikers

Hikers cover a distance of 150 kilometres from the starting point at the foot of the Krimml Waterfalls to the Schmittenhöhe high above Zell am See in ten daily stages. Overnight stays alternate between accommodation in the valley or on the mountains.

The trail leads right through the Hohe Tauern National Park region and reveals stunning views of Austria's highest mountains. The use of mountain railways or practical shuttle services at the stage destinations as well as a bookable luggage transfer ensure maximum comfort.

Along the way are spectacles of nature, exhibitions worth visiting, well-maintained national park towns and attractive excursion destinations.
