Fresh air makes people hungry. So what could be better than combining your holiday pleasures with an excursion into the culinary world? Opportunities are certainly not wanting in the National Park Region. Should it be stopping off at a mountain hut, or a gourmet dinner? Best would be both. There are just so many things to try.
What could be nicer than exploring the idyllic, snow-covered winter landscape of the Hohe Tauern National Park on a winter walking-tour? Whether you prefer snowshoes, or not: you will surely never get bored on our richly varied hiking routes.
Winter pleasures for the whole family – with snow you can rely on in the Grossglockner/Heiligenblut, Möll Valley Glacier and Ankogel skiing areas. Professional ski schools, and a setting in the winter paradise of nature in the Hohe Tauern National Park. Here your dreams of what winter could be will come true!
Do you yearn for downhill runs in powder snow or névé…but still you would not want to forego the comfort of cable cars and mountain railways? In that case we are the right destination for you! Because the three highest altitude Carinthian skiing areas - Grossglockner/Heiligenblut, Möll Valley Glacier/Flattach and Ankogel/Mallnitz – are a true paradise for free-riding, thanks to their vast broad slopes far above the treeline!
The Möll valley and especially the Malta valley are characterised by their huge waterfalls, plummeting wild and untamed down into the valley! In December, little by little, a mystical calm returns to the top of the valleys in the Hohe Tauern.
For the onset of the cold makes the proud waterfalls freeze and to become sparkling ice sculptures for several months – an El Dorado for all fans of ice climbing!
Places that still have a proper winter are super for indulging a passion for cross-country skiing, because they are snow-reliable. In the Hohe Tauern National Park Carinthia, friends of this Nordic ski sport are spoilt for choice with superbly maintained cross-country ski runs totalling more than 200km in length.
This is the most romantic way of experiencing the winter magic of the National Park: exploring the glittering winter world on horseback and, still under the impression of horse-riding adventures, relaxing in the front a crackling fire in the hearth. And there is more... you will also be able to enjoy the range of ‘wellness’ offers provided by our horse-riding specialists – that is what winter horse-riding in the National Park Region is all about!
From the lofty heights to Carinthia’s highest skiing pleasures. This is as good as it gets. Our National Park Airport shuttle will pick you up right at the airport, so that you don’t lose a single minute of your holiday. It’s best to book it along with your accommodation!
As soon as the mountain slopes are covered with the first snow in late autumn, a kind of tranquillity unusual for today’s hectic times takes possession of the Hohe Tauern. Everybody who then ascends a mountain using only his/her own muscle power, without the help of cable cars or mountain railways and away from the bustle of the pistes, will discover a magic world of sparkling nature – White Spirit, the hidden ski tour paradise of the Eastern Alps!
Your care-free skiing pleasures can start with a perfectly relaxed arrival. Save time and energy, and allow The Snow Express to take you directly to your destination. Travel in comfort and safety from Germany to Mallnitz-Obervellach IC railway station and back. And all this with best value fares! That’s the way to begin a skiing holiday!
