Free guided tour with a National Park ranger to the Kaiserstein 

From mid-July until the end of September, from Monday-Sunday at 10:30 and 13:30, free guided hikes with a National Park ranger start from the visitor centre up to Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe via the panorama path up to the Kaiserstein. On the way, the ranger explains how the glacier has changed, what flowers are in bloom at the wayside and about the animals that live up here. With a bit of luck on this one-hour route you might even come across a few marmots, or spy one of the mighty ibex who live in a colony above the Wilhelm-Swarovski Observatory.

Out and about with National Park rangers 

A visit to Heiligenblut is worthwhile not only for the House of the Ibex but also for exciting exploration tours with the National Park Rangers in the area around the High Alpine Road. Guided tours take place at regular intervals from Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe down to the Pasterze Glacier. Get information about all the latest offers here and book direct.
