Schladminger Tauern

Dreamy views over the

South of the Dachstein Massif and the mountain town of Schladming stretch the water-rich Schladminger Tauern – a range that rivals its famous northern neighbour not only in scenic beauty but also in elevation. Hundreds of kilometres of hiking trails lead to impressive summits and countless picturesque alpine lakes, including sections of the long-distance trail From Glacier to Wine.

Many of the mountain lakes and alpine pastures can be reached via easy and relatively short hikes. Among the most beautiful hikes in the Schladming-Dachstein region are certainly the high trails through the Schladminger Tauern – though they also come with their own demands. Surefootedness, a good basic level of fitness, a head for heights, and proper equipment are essential to experience the mountains at their best.

A shorter 5-day version covers around 45 km, following a scenic arc along the high trails above the Rohrmoos valleys of Obertal and Untertal, eventually leading you into the Seewigtal.

You’ll pass by crumbling huts and the stone foundations of miners’ lodgings – silent witnesses of the region’s historic mining past. Untouched mountain streams with roaring waterfalls and countless small tributaries from the Tauern’s spring-fed waterscape add to the magic of this hike. The 7-day route covers over 70 km and can be extended with various alternative routes.
