Our excursion tips for your vacation in the Rauris Valley:
Also known as “The Valley of Pilgrims and Muleteers”: Muleteers once laboriously hauled salt, gold and other treasures across the Hohe Tauern to the Seidlwinkl Valley. The Rauriser Tauernhaus was once a rest stop for the muleteers, now you can enjoy homemade food and good things from our own farm here and at other alpine summer huts throughout the valley. The annual Glockner pilgrimage leads through the Seidlwinkl Valley on June 28. In the summer months, the valley bus runs from Rauris to Seidlwinkltal, which is only open to public transport as far as the Fleckweide parking lot.
The valley extends to the Großglockner High Alpine Road.
