Discovery tour to the "places of encounter"

Hiking along Millstätter See Alpine Trail is like a discovery tour through the mountain world around the lake - dreamily places and inspiring panoramic views

Millstätter See Alpine Trail (200 km) opens a new “hiking world” connecting the mountains around the lake. Eight stages including many unique places invite you to take a rest, to indulge in nature, experience special encounters and to be amazed.

Walk along the stages, all georeferenced and integrated into Google Earth, and from peak to peak in thirteen days: from the world of the 3000-metre peaks in the West, across the Millstätter See Alpe and Mount Mirnock through to Mount Goldeck in the South. The way up to Mount Mirnock is characterised by mystical places and places of power. The last few metres up to the peak lead up the 30 steps of the Scala Paradisi (Ladder of Paradise), nestled into mountain scenery.
