The gateway to the Naturpark Karwendel

Holidays in Scharnitz

Scharnitz lies at an altitude of 964 metres, the first stop just after the border with Bavaria. The journey is made even more convenient by the fact that the village has its own train station and, with just one step, visitors are already in the middle of nature: whether climbing in the Karwendel, hiking and biking through the meadows and forests, cross-country skiing and snowshoe hiking or relaxing and enjoying the huts and alpine pastures. It's not just Austria's largest nature park that has a lot to offer here.

A warm welcome to Scharnitz and Tirols Hochplateau!
