During these tours, you will drop down to Tauplitz, the charming village right next to the valley station of the quad chairlift, where you will discover hotels, guesthouses, inns, a grocery store, a village bakery as well as a dance paradise. Small, but truly special. There are four different options for hiking from the Tauplitzalm – the biggest lake plateau in Central Europe – down to the valley.

Author’s recommendation

The 4-seater chairlift to the Tauplitzalm is in operation from the end of June to the beginning of September.

Tauplitz

Turn-by-turn directions

We start at the mountain station of the 4-seater chairlift on the Tauplitzalm. Right next to the station is the small mountain church. A visit is always worthwhile.

The hike continues across the high plateau in the direction of Steirersee. You should take the time for a short break at the Steirerseebankerl. The view of the Sturzhahn and the shining Steirersee is unforgettable.

Before the Steirersee huts, trail no. 275 branches off to the south. From here on surefootedness is required!Via the so-called "Niederblas" you descend towards Tauplitz and reach the village center via the Freibergweg.

Equipment

Proper backpacking makes a lot of things easier:

Pack heavy things first.
The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket.
All things that are often needed such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map belong on top.
An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!
