Become a ranger yourself – Junior Ranger project
Are you between 13 and 15 years old, and would you like to get a taste of what the responsible, interesting and variety-packed job of being a National Park ranger is like? Well, welcome to the Junior Ranger project. During the 14-day training to become a “Kärntenmilch Junior Ranger”, 15 participants find out lots of information about the animals, plants, geology, glaciers and life in the open natural surroundings. As well as lots of interesting facts, action, fun and adventure awaits too. It is free to take part – so register straight away!
Guided hikes in the National Park
The programme of guided hikes in the Hohe Tauern National Park really is something to behold. The tours proceed across unspoilt Alpine pastures, through larch forests, right the way through to mountain ridges that provide plenty of views. The Moharrunde is an easy tour for beginners, while the tour via the Lonza requires a bit more expertise and endurance. The ‘Elendrunde’ is true to its name (‘misery circuit’), being long and arduous. The National Park hiking day is a special event, where anyone who wants to head out on a hike meets up.
“Guided” summit conquering on the Großglockner
Maybe you are not so interested in the animals and prefer to find out about the mountains? If you have always wanted to stand on the summit of the Großglockner, then the best thing to do is join a mountain guide. Especially if you are planning a demanding tour across the Stüdlgrat or through the Nordwand to the rooftop of Austria, going with an experienced mountain guide might quite possibly make all the difference.
