Rennweg am Katschberg

Rennweg am Katschberg is a mountain municipality in Carinthia, Austria, situated at the foot of the Katschberg Pass on the border with Salzburg province. The village stretches along the historic Tauern road and enjoys direct access to the A10 motorway, which crosses the region through the Katschberg tunnel. It forms part of the Katschberg-Aineck ski area, known for its family-friendly slopes and reliable snow cover in winter. Nearby is the Baumkronenweg treetop walk, a nature attraction offering views over the surrounding peaks and wooded valleys typical of the Nockberge range. In summer, the area draws hikers thanks to its network of mid-mountain trails and proximity to the Nockberge Nature Park. The local economy remains shaped by mountain farming, particularly dairy production, which defines the landscape of meadows and traditional farmhouses. With an alpine climate featuring cold, snowy winters and mild summers, Rennweg am Katschberg offers a versatile destination suited to both winter sports holidays and outdoor, nature-based tourism.
