Schmittenhöhe Panorama Trail & Views
Offering an unparalleled high-altitude hiking experience, the Schmittenhöhe Panorama Trail provides stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding Hohe Tauern peaks, including Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner, as well as the glistening Lake Zell. This well-maintained trail is accessible via various gondolas and chairlifts (e.g., TrassXpress, Sonnkogelbahn) during summer and early autumn. It's a moderate hike, suitable for families, and features viewing platforms, interactive stations, and often alpine flower gardens. The peak elevation is approximately 2,000 meters above sea level. This is distinct from general skiing or mountain access, focusing on the specific hiking product. Access during operational lift hours, typically from late May to late October. Prices are included in lift tickets, which start around €30-€40 for a day pass.
