In the north of the Lienz District the market town Matrei extends through the whole Tauern valley in an altitude of about 975 meters. The second largest community in Tyrol with our selected hotel is considered the Heart of the National Park High Tauern and is the tourist center in this area. It is especially famous for the Großglockner Resort Kals-Matrei. The frequently as varied and family-friendly awarded ski resort is not only the largest resort in East Tyrol. It also counts as one of the most beautiful ski areas of the Alps.
But Matrei is worth a visit in Summer, too. Impressing mountains, calm lakes, magical larch forests, roaring rivers and vivid meadows. The landscape offers a wide range of different hiking paths and numerous three-thousanders. You can be active by biking, climbing or white-water rafting in the streams of the Isel.
Matrei is also famous for cultural attractions. There is a variety of churches and chapels from different periods. A visit of the castle “Schloss Weißenstein” on a steep lime rock in the North is recommended. For an overall impression of the High Tauern you can visit the “Nationalparkhaus Matrei”. In six interactive rooms a brief insight into the national park is conveyed. Come and see the beauty in the center of the High Tauern.
