Tauplitzalm - Alpine Road to Bad Mitterndorf

Over the ten-kilometer-long, romantic Tauplitzalm Alpine Road, the high plateau of the Tauplitzalm is reached, a landscape that is among the most impressive natural gems of the Alps. At the top of the plateau awaits an impressive mountain backdrop: The mighty Grimming to the south, the Tote Gebirge to the north, the Dachstein massif to the west, and the distinctive mountains of the Gesäuse to the east.

Whether by private vehicle, ski bus, or one of the public buses: The drive combines great panoramic views with relaxed driving pleasure. The 8 serpentines and hairpin turns are especially appealing to motorcyclists.

A multitude of hikes and tours for every fitness level, from leisurely hikes to the starting point for demanding mountain tours, can be discovered here. The beautiful alpine landscape invites you to slow down: Cozy inns and quiet cabins offer ideal spots to rest and enjoy the unique natural backdrop.

In the summer, hikers can leave the car behind up here and experience nature in its most original form on the largest high lake plateau in Europe while enjoying the fresh mountain air. The Tauplitzalm boasts a total of six crystal-clear mountain lakes, which are scattered across the plateau like blue eyes in the idyllic landscape. On the 6-Lakes Hike, all the mountain lakes can be explored along the stunning alpine scenery.

In the winter, visitors can reach the 8-seater gondola Mitterstein or continue up to the Tauplitzalm via the alpine road. From there, the numerous slopes of the Tauplitz ski area can be explored on skis or with a snowboard. The plateau is also a real cross-country skiing paradise.
