New Trail! Panoramaweg Südalpen
Deserves its name quite rightly: the Panoramaweg Südalpen opens up grandiose views from the summit crest of the Karawanken and Saualpe mountains ©Panoramaweg Südalpen/Franz Gerdl
The Panoramaweg Südalpen goes back to a joint initiative of the tourism regions Carnica Region Rosental, Klopeiner See – Südkärnten and Lavanttal, which was then also joined by the Villach region. Thus, the Panorama Trail Southern Alps opens up a fascinating hike along the entire Karawanken ridge and the high ridge of the Saualpe on a total of 20 daily stages. Particularly attractive: Two stage locations are in Slovenia, which makes the Panorama Trail a cross-border hiking experience.
Discover the sunny sides: The Panoramaweg Südalpen easily lives up to these promises of desire. Sunrise on the Mittagskogel in the Karawanken.

As partners a charming mix of alpine huts, picturesquely situated inns in often lonely locations and accommodations in idyllic villages could be won.

Due to this route structure, the Panoramaweg Südalpen shows two fundamentally different faces: rugged and breathtakingly spectacular in the border mountains of the Karawanken and sublime and radiating tranquility on the giant but gentle ridge of the Saualpe. Because of its special characteristics alone, the Panoramaweg Südalpen presented the Trail Angels with special challenges in the development process, which were also reflected in minor route adaptations, for example. However, the result of the “bookable” Panoramaweg Südalpen is impressive: A charming mix of alpine huts, picturesquely situated guesthouses in often lonely locations and accommodations in idyllic villages could be added as partner accommodations. In addition, a comprehensive Mobility Service, consisting of Luggage Transport, Shuttle Services, Return Transfer and Train Station Shuttle could be implemented almost gaplessly (at all accessible stage locations).
The second face of the Panoramaweg Südalpen: Gentle, high and sublime! The hike on the Saualpe is like a soothing balm for the soul.
