Each skier can make his own ski tracks in the Hohe Tauern National Park. In other places there is nothing but ski lifts, but here with us there are countless ski tour destinations. About half of East Tyrol lies at about 2,000 m. There are 241 three-thousand meter peaks and approximately 100 square kilometers of the country consist of glaciers. Romance, solitude and challenge guaranteed. 

Untouched and snowy winter landscapes, powder snow, silence and solitude await the snowshoe walker all around on this route through the Hohe Tauern National Park.

GUIDED SNOWSHOE HIKES:
Hike the rugged valleys with the Hohe Tauern National Park rangers and marvel at the survival strategies of the animal and plant world.

Here you will find the current snow reports of the National Park Region and East Tyrol.

The Ice Climbing Park Osttirol was discovered after a year of intensive search by the Kalser mountain guides Vittorio Messini and Mathias Wurzer. It is located about a 20-minute walk behind the Matreier Tauernhaus. The artificial icefalls are created through fine water mist from pipelines and then shaped into a large climbing wall with around 80 routes of varying difficulty levels. Thanks to the stable ice conditions, climbing is possible even in milder winters.
