Introduction
Hohe Tauern National Park is Austria's largest national park and protects one of the great high-alpine landscapes of Europe. The park spans parts of Salzburg, Tyrol, and Carinthia, with glaciers, waterfalls, alpine meadows, deep valleys, and Austria's highest mountain, Grossglockner.
For broader background on the park's geography, history, and protected status, see the Hohe Tauern National Park Wikipedia page.
The official Hohe Tauern webcam page highlights selected webcams from the national park region, including views toward Grossglockner, Grossvenediger, the Schobergruppe, and Sonnblick. Use these cameras with the local weather forecast before planning hikes, high mountain roads, or glacier viewpoints.
Top Hikes
These three hikes are good starting points for planning, with at least one more difficult option. Distances and elevation gain are rounded; check the official park trail page for current closures, permits, weather, and trail conditions.
Krimml Waterfalls Trail (moderate) - 2.5 miles (4.0 km); elevation gain 1,250 feet (380 m). A classic waterfall route beside one of Europe's highest waterfall systems.
Grossglockner Gamsgrubenweg (moderate) - 3.7 miles (6.0 km); elevation gain 650 feet (200 m). A high-alpine path near Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Hoehe with Grossglockner and glacier views.
Innergschloess Glacier Trail (difficult) - 10.6 miles (17.0 km); elevation gain 3,280 feet (1,000 m). A demanding alpine route in the Venediger area with glacier scenery and major mountain exposure.
Official and Nearby Hohe Tauern Area Cams
The first five camera cards are official Hohe Tauern / Foto-Webcam.eu views linked from the national park's webcam page: Freiwandeck, Feldkopf, Goldbergkees, Sonnblickbasis, and Kleinfleisskees. These are the best park-specific views for checking glacier, snow, cloud, and visibility conditions.
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road cameras are nearby park-region views rather than national park cameras. They are included because they show important Grossglockner access and weather conditions near one of the park's most visited areas.
Grossglockner and Krimml Waterfalls
Grossglockner and the Pasterze glacier are signature Hohe Tauern sights. The Grossglockner High Alpine Road webcam and weather page provides additional road and panorama views, while the Krimml Waterfalls page is useful for planning one of the region's most famous waterfall walks.
Planning Notes
High-alpine weather can change quickly in Hohe Tauern. Check official webcam pages, weather, trail information, road status, hut logistics, and season dates before heading into glacier terrain or onto the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Snow and closures can affect travel well outside winter.
