Example tours:

Experience the Großglockner at 3,798m

Since 1935 the Großglockner High Alpine Road has been an unforgettable experience for around 50 million visitors. This most famous of Alpine roads ends at the splendid Hohe Tauern National Park: in front Austria's highest mountain and largest glacier, Großglockner (3.798 m) and the Pasterze.

Along the way:

On the way there, experience a 4,000-km journey to the Arctic. On the 1,500-metre climb to Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe you pass through all vegetation zones - from grain fields to perennial ice.

Along the Glockner Road, numerous information boards, six information trails and two information centres combine to create a state-of-the-art visual impression of nature. For example, you can find out where to stop if you wish to enjoy the high-Alpine experience to the full.

Bike & Hike tours in East Tyrol

Many great summits can be more easily reached than on foot - with the help of a mountain bike or eBike (from the door). This often saves a long walk and, after reaching the summit, there's the promise of a wonderful descent.

A paradise for climbers in the Dolomites

The Dolomites are a paradise for climbers, offering some of the best and most well-known via ferrata in the Alps. Rope yourself to the rocks, pull yourself up and enjoy the unique panoramic views.

Rafting

Rafting is an adventure sport combining nature, physical activity and team work. There's hardly another sport that allows you to experience the power of unrestrained nature so intensively. The Drau provides an ideal stretch for making yourself familiar with these aspects. Crystal clear water and an impressive river landscape are characteristic of this popular tour.

Nordic Walking

Surrounded by the imposing mountain landscape, fitness orientated holidaymakers can let off steam on different routes.

The running and Nordic walking routes have been designed for sport, but also go through particularly peaceful and unspoilt countryside around Innervillgraten.
