Passionate hikers, who appreciate lonely paths and varied nature, definitely get their money’s worth during the Styrian Salzkammergut Walking Tour! You can let your eyes gaze into the distance and enjoy the beauty and silence of the landscape. On this seven-day tour, you will have many fascinating experiences. For example, you will follow a rushing mountain stream during the leg from the imposing Loser over the Tressensattel. Or during the subsequent rowing experience with a traditional ‘Traunerl’ across the lake. In the heart of the Ausseerland, you will get up close to nature!
You make your way to Bad Goisern on Lake Hallstatt. From there, you continue straight to the hiking paradise of Predigstuhl, where you can climb the alpine pastures, huts and peaks of the Ausseerland. The hiking tour is relatively easy, but you will need sure-footedness in some parts and good basic fitness. On average, the day tours are 17 kilometres long and last around five hours.
Imposing mountain scenery, impressive alpine landscapes and crystal-clear lakes – the Ausseerland is pure perfection. In addition, you can experience unique customs, costumes, music and dance. A particular jewel is the Tauplitzalm. Lovingly called ‘The Alm’ by the locals, it is the most extensive lake plateau in Central Europe and lies in the mountain range of Totes Gebirge.
Note: This hike is also suitable for your four-legged friend!

10-Day Camino de Santiago in Luxury
It was an exhiliarating and awesome experience that exceeded all my expectations!
Arrive in Bad Goisern, Austria, and head to your hotel to check in before enjoying the remaining hours of the day at your leisure.
Take a short taxi transfer from Bad Goisern to the hiking paradise Predigstuhl. You walk past rustic cabins, alpine pastures and impressive summits into the heart of the Ausseerland. The alpine field Hütteneckalm, with stunning views of the UNESCO heritage region ‘Hallstatt Dachstein’, is only one place to invite you for a break, together with the unique Blaa-alp. You will then walk to the beautiful village of Altaussee, where you will stay overnight. Numerous artists spend their summer here and enjoy the charming landscape with its limestone rocks, expansive forests and flower fields.
You will start your day’s walk by visiting Lake Altaussee with a view of the imposing Loser Mountain. You will then head to the next lake of the day by crossing the Tressen saddle – of course, you will have endless mountainous panoramic views. You will then reach Gößl by Lake Grundlsee along a path with fantastic views. Finally, don’t miss out on visiting the mystical Lake Toplitzsee, where rumours proclaim some hidden treasure. Or go for a row in a traditional wooden boat.
According to Heinrich Harrer, the route takes you along a fast-flowing mountain stream and through extensive alluvial areas out of the valley to Ödernalm, the nicest spot on the planet. After one last ascent over the Törl, you will arrive at the charming, almost magical lake. Soon afterwards, you will arrive at Tauplitzalm, located on a high plateau.
The Tauplitzalm is one of Europe’s loveliest high plateaus and has many walking opportunities. The six lakes walk takes you on a route with great views and wonderfully located mountain lakes. A walk to one of the many peaks in the Tote Gebirge mountain range is an extraordinary experience. The area is well-known for its large variety of fauna and flora ranging from the snow roses to gentian to alpine rose flowers. Maybe you will also spot some chamois native to the steep mountain slopes.
Head over the Hochalm, where you will walk past lake Steirersee to lake Schwarzensee, tucked away among high mountains. Downstream through the forest and through blooming narcissus fields, you walk to Tauplitz. Head back to Bad Goisern by train.
