Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail

Stage by stage through the Alps

Long-distance hiking in the Hohe Tauern National Park holiday region

The Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail is one of the most impressive long-distance hiking trails in the SalzburgerLand. Spanning several stages, the trail winds its way through a diverse mountain landscape – accompanied at every turn by breathtaking views of the three-thousand-metre peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park.

Lush alpine pastures, high-altitude paths offering spectacular views and cosy mountain huts make every stage a special experience. The Panorama Trail can be tailored to suit your preferences – from individual day walks to tours lasting several days.
