Welcome to the heart of the Hohe Tauern. Here, in the idyllic Virgental valley of East Tyrol, lies the municipality of Prägraten. Prägraten is situated at the southern foot of the 3,667-meter-high Großvenediger, the fourth-highest mountain in Austria. The Virgental is a side valley of the Iseltal, branching off from it at Matrei and traversed by the Isel River. Prägraten and its Virgental are popular holiday destinations for mountain and winter sports enthusiasts alike, both in summer and winter.

Prägraten am Großvenediger is located within the Hohe Tauern National Park, the largest and oldest national park in Austria. A journey of discovery into this unique alpine natural landscape can begin right here in Prägraten: vibrant, untouched nature and culturally shaped landscapes coexist, hosting an extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna, as well as natural phenomena found only in this form in the Central Alps.

Thanks to its location in the upper Virgental, Prägraten is an उत्कृष्ट starting point for summit tours and alpine hikes through the stunning scenery of the Hohe Tauern. The village is, for example, a conveniently located base for climbing the Großvenediger. The Sajathütte, which is easily accessible from Prägraten, offers overnight accommodation and serves as an ideal base for rewarding summit tours. Those who prefer a leisurely valley hike can visit the spectacular Umbal Waterfalls at the end of the Virgental.

In winter, the ski touring community especially appreciates the slopes of the Großvenediger group. Prägraten is an ideal starting point for this and offers the necessary infrastructure, including numerous mountain huts. The village also features a small, family-friendly ski area that is particularly suitable for children and beginners. Cross-country skiers can enjoy the extensive network of trails throughout the snow-covered Virgental.
