Holiday in the waterfall village Krimml

Mountains, water and a lot of hospitality

Krimml is a small village in the Pinzgau, a part of the Austrian province Salzburg. It is located in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, the largest nature reserve of the Alps. Surrounded by dozens of threethousanders, Krimml is the perfect holiday destination for nature lovers and active people.

The Krimml Waterfalls are the world-famous landmark of Krimml. With a vertical drop of 380 metres they are the highest waterfalls in Europe. The amazing scenery of the roaring waterfalls fascinates guests from all over the world every day. Thanks to the beneficial effects of the waterfalls, Krimml is very popular with people who suffer from allergies or asthma.

But discovering the Krimml Waterfalls is not the only thing that you can do on your holiday in Krimml. The amazing high valleys of the Hohe Tauern National Park invite you with glistening mountain lakes, narrow gorges and picturesque alpine pastures. In particular the Krimml Achental Valley, which provides unforgettable outdoor experiences in summer as well as in winter.

If you spend your holiday in Krimml, you will find yourself amidst the idyllic, open-hearted village life. Despite its tranquillity, Krimml offers everything you need for a great holiday in the Hohe Tauern region: some restaurants, coffeehouses and bars, shops, sports equipment rentals and, thanks to the Krimml WasserWelten, even a museum.
