The alpine village of Rauris
A jewel in the Salzburg moutainscape of the National Park Hohe Tauern
In one of the most beautiful valleys in the province of Salzburg, the alpine Rauris Valley lies the picturesque alpine village of Rauris: an ideal destination for your next holiday in Austria.
The alpine farmers in Rauris have had very early encounters with visitors from around the globe. Merchants came through the village, to transport their valuable goods via the Alps into the north or south and back. The Tauern House, which is still in good shape today, was home to many foreign merchants. These merchants brought valuable goods such as salt, silk and fur and also their stories from around the world into the alpine village of Rauris. This allowed the Rauris alpine farmers to open their minds and experience different cultures from around the world.
The impressive day to day life at the alpine village Rauris
Hundreds of years old are theproud mountain farms at the hillsides of the Rauris mountains. The cows which you will see during your summer hiking tours on the alpine meadows deliver the very best milk for your breakfast at the Hotel Rauriserhof. The Tauern lamb, a Salzburg specialty, is raised on the alpine meadows, just like it was centuries ago – where it grazes with its mother a few months on the meadows of the mountain farmers.
The steep hillsides and pathways in the Rauris Valley are a great challenge to the mountain farmers. However their connection with their land, the surrounding nature and their animals keeps these farmers in high altitudes. Their cosmopolitan attitude, their connection with nature: characterize the life of the farmers in the alpine village of Rauris.
