Largest conservation area in the Alps
The Hohe Tauern National Park encompasses an area of 1856 km2 across three Austrian counties – making it the largest contiguous natural and cultural area in the Alps. Its fascinating landscape has been shaped by ice ages, geological and geomorphic processes. A broad spectrum of climates within the National Park, ranging from oceanic to continental, gives rise to an outstanding biological and ecological diversity.
Enough with theory - come and experience it for yourself!

“Dream holiday included!”, is the motto of the Nationalpark Kärnten Card, which consolidates an extensive programme of discounts and benefits in just one single card. Along with the more than 100 attractions, activities and places of interest that are covered by the standard Kärnten Card, the National Park version also offers additional experiences and benefits specifically within the National Park region. In contrast to the standard Kärnten Card, the Nationalpark Kärnten Card cannot be acquired commercially, but is given exclusively to guests staying at one of the programme’s official partner companies.
