On the trail of the hiking summer of a lifetime
Join Lucas and Noah as they explore the Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail
Four days, countless moments – on the Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail.
Those who embark on this long-distance hiking trail receive more than just peaks and elevation gain. You find vastness. Silence. And the feeling of truly being with yourself.
What did this journey show us?
That walking is more than simply getting from one place to another. It’s an opportunity to meet yourself – step by step, summit by summit.
And with the National Park Summer Card, it all becomes even richer: free admissions, cable cars, public transport – that’s how sustainable, relaxed discovery works.
The Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail doesn’t just connect places – it connects people with nature. And that is exactly what it is: the magic of walking.
3 teams – 6 weeks – 10 regions
The three winning teams set off on the hiking summer of a lifetime with Österreichs Wanderdörfern, ready to discover the most beautiful hiking regions in Austria – six weeks long, right across the country. From the very first step to the final summit moment, they took us along: to breathtaking long-distance trails, hidden mountain lakes, and delicious moments of alpine indulgence.
Day 1: ET12 – Hundstein
From Bruck an der Großglocknerstraße to Taxenbach: from the Moosalm via the panoramic summit of the Hundstein to the Rieser Aste – Stage 12 had everything that makes the start of a hiking adventure so special: changing landscapes, a steady rhythm underfoot, and a destination earned step by step.
Day 2: ET13 – Kitzlochklamm
From Taxenbach to Embach: the impressive Kitzlochklamm, with its sheer rock walls and roaring waterfalls, reveals a very different power of nature. That was Stage 13 – a part of the Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail you won’t soon forget.
Day 3: ET14 – Grubereck
From Embach to Rauris: from the Kapeller Alm over the Grubereck to Rauris Hinterschriefling – Stage 14 leads through rustic alpine pastures, along scenic high trails, and down into one of the most unspoiled valleys of the Hohe Tauern. Here, every step tells a story – and every view speaks for itself.
Day 4: ET01 – Krimml Waterfalls
From Krimml to Hochkrimml: the Krimml Waterfalls – thundering, wild, breathtaking. Standing here, you understand why Hohe Tauern National Park is among Europe’s most impressive natural landscapes.
