Our excursion tip: the Hohe Tauern National Park Worlds in Mittersill

Experience alpine nature in a fun way

The region around the Thurnerhof is characterised by unparalleled diversity and natural beauty. To be able to see the alpine flora and fauna during the different seasons is a really special gift. We love our home region and feel very fortunate to be able to welcome guests from all over the world in this beautiful setting. We are, of course, also very aware of the responsibility of preserving this beauty. At the Thurnerhof we therefore place importance on naturalness, sustainability, and environmental protection. Here, environmental protection starts with protecting the nature. Showing children from a young age how to be respectful of others as well as animals, the earth and its resources is something which is very close to our hearts and in this we are not alone. Many excursion destinations focus on strengthening an awareness of nature and making it possible to experience the special features of the Alps, for example in the Hohe Tauern National Park Worlds in Mittersill. Here the whole family is given an insight into otherwise hidden worlds.

A great day trip for the whole family – regardless of the weather!


The Hohe Tauern National Park Worlds in Mittersill are only a ca. 45-minute drive from the Thurnerhof. And as the different exhibition rooms waiting to be explored are housed indoor in a modern museum, it is one of the most popular year-round excursions no matter what the weather is. Here the kids can play on the marmot trails and marvel at what they see in the 3D cinema. Visitors can look forward to ten themed worlds, all just waiting to be explored.

The Hohe Tauern National Park Worlds for children


The national park is a real natural paradise which captivates not only the adult explorers. The little ones can also enjoy many great things such as the fun play facilities, guided walks with real life rangers and much more. Look forward to more than 60 attractions and 1,100 kilometres of hiking paths across an area of 1,800 square kilometres.

For those who would prefer to remain in the Glemm valley and find out more about the alpine nature on their doorstep, we recommend the educational hiking trails as well as the wildlife trail in the Hinterglemm valley head. The hiking bus which can be used free with the JOKER CARD offers convenient transport to the starting point which means nothing need stand in the way of an adventure in the mountains!
