Hiking & Wellness

The Rauris Valley has a quality that is hard to put into words—a specific kind of stillness that you only truly feel when you look out the window in the morning and see the peaks of the Goldberg Group bathed in the first light of day. As a 4-star hotel in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, we offer you exactly that: fresh mountain air, authentic activity, and deep relaxation. At the Rauriserhof, there is no compromise between being active and staying relaxed—here, they simply belong together.

Over 295 Kilometers of Hiking Trails – Each One Worth the Journey

When you vacation at the Rauriserhof, nature is your largest wellness area, right at your doorstep. The Rauris Valley is widely considered one of the most beautiful valleys in the entire Hohe Tauern National Park. With over 295 kilometers of marked trails and alpine paths, every hiker finds their perfect route:

• Experience Diversity: From gentle alpine meadow walks with traditional hut stops to challenging tours of the three-thousand-meter peaks of the Goldberg Group, or quiet strolls through the Rauris Virgin Forest (Urwald).
• The Kruml Valley Highlight: We especially recommend the "Valley of the Vultures" (Krumltal). It is one of Austria's most significant observation areas for bearded vultures. Seeing these majestic birds with a wingspan of over two meters catching the thermals is a moment you won’t soon forget.
• Hiking Hotel Expertise: We live and breathe the mountains. As a specialized hiking hotel, we personally support you with route planning and provide insider tips for the best POIs (Points of Interest) in the region.

There is that specific moment in the late afternoon: you take off your hiking boots and know that the rest of the day belongs solely to relaxation. That is exactly why we created our BergSpa—your personal oasis to prevent muscle soreness and let your soul dangle.
