The uniqueness of the Hohe Tauern National Park in East Tyrol – the largest national park in the Alps – lies not only in its unspoilt natural landscape, but also in its gigantic mountain scenery and fascinating wildlife.

Exclusively for our guests, there is a free voucher for one ranger tour in the summer programme of the Hohe Tauern National Park in Tyrol.

Our charming mountain village is located in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, surrounded by peaks that stretch up to the sky. All around, 268 three-thousand-metre peaks are waiting to be climbed, admired or simply photographed.

Whether you prefer leisurely hikes with the family, bravely conquering the via ferrata or discovering your inner Tarzan in the high ropes course – up here, everyone can find their own personal summit bliss. Lace up your hiking boots, pack your rucksack and off you go: the mountains are calling – and quite loudly!

The Defereggental valley has everything cycling enthusiasts could wish for – from relaxed e-bike tours to legendary MTB routes. Speikbodenhütte, Staller Sattel, Brugger Alm & Co. have cult status – just like the 100 km long Riesenferner circuit (warning: calf alert!).

If that's too wild for you, just hop on an e-bike and enjoy nature at a leisurely pace.

Our Alpine inn in St. Veit is your base for fantastic tours through the biking paradise of East Tyrol. The Staller Sattel is only 20 minutes away – perfect for the Dolomites tour! The Glockner, Nockalm, Carinthian lakes and a detour to Slovenia are also waiting for you.

And best of all: the owner is a passionate biker himself – with real insider tips up his sleeve!

The Defereggental Golf Park is located in the heart of the beautiful Defereggental valley, surrounded by numerous impressive mountain peaks of the Southern Alps. Practise your precision game on the attractive 9-hole par-3 golf course with a large practice area and modern, covered driving range. The expert golf pros at the golf academy will get you ready to play on the course in just 5 days!

Relaxation, concentration and fun – these are the main ingredients of a sport that is becoming increasingly popular. In St. Veit, just under 3 km away from the Alpengasthof Pichler, there is a beautifully laid out course with around 30 3D animals.

There you can go ‘hunting’ for deer, chamois and foxes. Archery is also an ideal sport for families, as it combines a mixture of hunting, fun and adventure. Archery tours for beginners are also available.
