Hohe Tauern National Park Hiking Trails

Rauris is a gateway to Europe's largest national park, offering over 300 km of marked hiking trails. Notable trails include the 'Valley of the Vultures' (Krummltal), where visitors can observe golden eagles and bearded vultures, the 'Toleranzweg' educational trail, and numerous high-alpine routes to huts like the Rauriser Sonnblickhütte (2,175m). Difficulty ranges from easy valley walks (e.g., along the Rauriser Ache river) to challenging multi-hour treks with significant elevation gain. Many trails are accessible directly from the village or via the Hochalmbahn during summer. Guided National Park Ranger tours are available several times a week, often free with a guest card.
