The point of travelling is to reach your destination; the point of hiking is the journey itself.
The Pinzgau Walk is one of the most beautiful high trails in the eastern Alps, serving up exhilarating views of the ice-covered peaks of the Hohe Tauern.

Towering skywards: such famous mountains as the Grossglockner, the Kitzsteinhorn, the Granatspitze, the Sonnblick and the Grossvenediger.
