The approximately 5.3 km long winter hike across the Tauplitzalm plateau offers magnificent views and cozy places to stop along the way. It takes about two hours, is classified as moderately difficult, and requires some fitness. The hike starts either from the parking area on the Tauplitzalm or from the top station of the 4-seater chairlift. The prepared trail leads past the Naturfreundehaus and the snow-covered Tauplitzsee to the Grazerhütte and continues to the Linzerhaus before returning to the starting point.


The 5.3 km trail showcases the many possibilities of the Tauplitzalm in winter. The plateau is easy to navigate, allowing for individual route variations. With a duration of about two hours, the hike is classified as moderately difficult and requires some fitness.
It can be started either from the parking area on the Tauplitzalm, where plenty of parking spaces are available, or from the top station of the 4-seater chairlift. The prepared trail leads past the Naturfreundehaus to the snow-covered Tauplitzsee at the foot of Mount Traweng, continues to the Grazerhütte, then in a wide loop to the Linzerhaus, and finally returns via the Naturfreundehaus to the starting point.

It is best to plan your journey to Tauplitz with google.at/maps

The hike starts at the village square in Tauplitz. From there, walk east along the road. Cross the bypass road and then continue straight on along the road towards Gnanitzalm. After about two kilometers, turn left onto the “Freiberg Weg” and return to the starting point. 

If you prefer, you can also continue along the road towards Gnanitzalm and after about 20 minutes on foot you will come to the waterfall on the right (only accessible when there is little snow) and the Sagtümpel pond on the left.
 

There are plenty of free parking spaces at the entrance to Tauplitz.

From the parking lot turn left and hike up towards the church. A little above you will find the starting point of the hike.
