National Park Worlds in Mittersill

Marmots & Co
Here, the focus is on wildlife: crawl through an oversized marmot burrow and learn in a playful way how the animal inhabitants of the Alps – from chamois to snow hares – survive in the wild.

3D cinema experience
Travel through the history of the Earth in fast motion. The 3D cinema spectacularly shows the formation of the Alps and the famous ‘Tauern Window’: experience how continents collide and mountains rise up.

360° panoramic cinema
An absolute highlight: immerse yourself in untouched wilderness on a huge panoramic screen. State-of-the-art technology allows you to experience weather changes, seasons and the power of the elements up close, as if you were standing on the summit yourself.

The myth of the mountain forest
Step into the magical atmosphere of the forest. An immersive installation with ceiling cinema lets you discover the secrets and biodiversity of the mountain forest – a place of tranquillity and wonder.

Alpine summer
From the valley to the alpine pastures: this station shows the colourful diversity of the cultural landscape. Discover the world of butterflies, insects and grazing animals and learn why alpine farming is so important for the region.

Water world
The ‘Water Kingdom’ is dedicated to this precious liquid in all its forms. Follow the path of water from glacier gates to wild mountain streams and moors to the tranquil mountain lakes of the Hohe Tauern.

Glacier World
Touch the ‘eternal’ ice masses. Here you can learn everything about the mighty glaciers, see a 6,000-year-old Swiss stone pine that has been freed by the ice, and understand the significance of glacier retreat for our time.

Peaks from the sea bed
Did you know that the highest peaks of the Tauern mountains once lay at the bottom of an ocean? Marvel at fossil finds and replicas, such as a dinosaur, which bear witness to the fact that millions of years ago, a tropical sea surged here.
