Profile

Although the Nockberge Trail started in 2018 as a ski touring trail, it has always been imagined as a year-round trail. Therefore the development of a summer trail following the winter route was the next obvious step. Especially since there are few mountain groups in the Alps that are as perfect for hiking as the gentle Nockberge mountains. In combination with the comfortable hotels and the support of the Booking Center, the result is a 5-stage long-distance hiking trail, which within a short period of time has become one of the most popular trails managed by us. The Nockberge-Trail can therefore be considered a very successful example of the gentle and responsible touristic use of a protected area (in this case the Biosphere Park Nockberge) in summer and winter.
