text: Gnadenalm is where the Tauern pass exhales: a wide, quiet valley floor just past the Obertauern snow bowl, made for the slower winter sports. ## Why go - **Ski touring** — the gentle open slopes above the Gnadenalm are a classic first-tour terrain: enough climb to earn the descent, none of the exposure. Local schools run introductory touring courses here. - **Tobogganing** — a natural toboggan run descends near the Johanneswasserfall; sleds can be rented nearby in season. - **Cross-country** — the Gnadenalm doubles as a cross-country base with tracks along the young Taurach. ## Food The Gnadenalm huts serve fondues worth the drive alone: - **Meat fondue** — around 250 g of beef, pork, and turkey fillet, cooked at the table and served with six different sauces, mixed salad, French fries, and baguette. - **Cheese fondue** — the classic alpine version, served the same way. Both are a full dinner, not a snack stop — plan accordingly. ## Summer In the snow-free months the Gnadenalm turns into a trailhead. The free car park at the huts is where the easy **"Alles Alm" experience trail** starts: themed stations about pasture life, cows and water, playground stops, and after about an hour at family pace the [Johanneswasserfall](/lungau/places/johanneswasserfall/), a 60 m natural monument with a secured path that leads right behind the falling water. See the [Gnadenalm to Johanneswasserfall hike](/lungau/itineraries/gnadenalm-johanneswasserfall-hike/). ## Good to know - About 30 minutes from Mariapfarr — over the pass, a few minutes beyond Obertauern (technically in Untertauern, Pongau). - Being terrain outside groomed resorts, ski touring requires avalanche awareness — check the bulletin and go with a guide if unsure. - Verify toboggan run opening and sled rental locally; conditions vary through the season.

text: This is the hike to pick when the walk has to be easy and the ending has to be worth it: pastures and cows on the way, and a path that takes you behind a 60-metre waterfall at the end. ## Why this hike works for families Nothing about the approach is steep or long. From the free car park at the Gnadenalm huts the "Alles Alm" experience trail rolls across open pasture with themed stations — alpine life, cows, milk, honey, wood and water — and playground stops that break the hour into short legs. Shortly before the alm huts a signpost points left to the waterfall, and the sound of falling water does the rest of the motivating. **From our hike, the cows grazing on the pasture were the first highlight, and the roar building up on the last stretch had everyone hurrying.** ## The waterfall reward About 200 steps lead to a viewing platform and then to the part that makes this walk special: a secured path that runs along the rock wall directly behind the Johanneswasserfall. You stand in the spray with the whole valley framed by the curtain of water. **The kids walked behind the fall — the kind of finish that turns "are we there yet" into a story they tell at dinner.** The fall has been a natural monument since 1931 and is named after Archduke Johann, who had the first railing built here. ## Good to know - Allow about an hour each way at family pace, or 2 to 2½ hours for the full loop with the platform and the passage behind the fall. - The steps and the path behind the water are wet and slippery: shoes with grip, one hand free for small children, and a light rain jacket if you want to linger in the spray. This last section is not for strollers or carriers with a wide base. - Shorter option: start from the alm huts near the fall, or from the lay-by on the Tauern pass road (B99) just above it — roughly 200 steps straight down to the curtain and back up. - Pick a dry day; sunny mornings light the curtain best, and rain makes the steps slick. - The Gnadenalm huts at the car par…

text: The Johanneswasserfall is the family walk with a proper finale: an hour of easy trail from the Gnadenalm huts, then about 200 steps and a secured path that leads right behind a 60-metre curtain of falling water. ## Why go Most waterfalls you look at. This one you walk through — or rather behind. At about 1,390 m the [Nördliche Taurach](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%B6rdliche_Taurach) — the Pongau Taurach, which rises at the Tauern pass — takes its first big step down the valley here, dropping some 60 m over a rock overhang, and a railed path runs along the wall underneath it, so you stand in the spray with the whole forested valley framed by the water in front of you. Archduke Johann of Austria was impressed enough on a visit in the early 19th century to have the first railing built, which is how the fall got its name; it has been a protected natural monument since 1931. The approach matters as much as the finale for families. From the free car park at Gnadenalm the "Alles Alm" experience trail — themed stations about alpine pasture life, cows, milk, honey, wood and water, with playground stops — reaches the fall in about an hour at family pace. Shortly before the alm huts, a signpost sends you left to the waterfall. **From our hike, the pastures with grazing cows and the sound of the water getting louder kept the kids moving, and the passage behind the fall was the reward that made the whole walk feel earned.** ## Good to know - Allow about an hour each way from Gnadenalm, or 2–2½ hours for the loop; from the Gnadenalm car park the trail is stroller-friendly until the final stretch to the fall. - Shorter option: start from the alm huts near the fall, or from the small lay-by on the Tauern pass road (B99) just above it, where roughly 200 steps lead straight down to the curtain. - The steps and the path behind the fall are wet and slippery — shoes with grip, a hand for small children, and a light rain jacket if you want to stand in the spray for long. - The wate…
