A hike in the gorge

The entrance to the gorge can be reached either by the already mentioned 20-minute hike (with a 130 meters ascent), or you can also take the cable car from the Das Graseck hotel.

The route is 6.5 km, while the gorge is 702 meters long. The gorge itself is 80 meters deep; that is, it is surrounded by 80-meter-high rock walls.

The gap carved into the huge rock walls was formed by the icy, frozen Partnach river over thousands of years. Don't just admire the roaring stream in the gorge. Look at the rock walls; you will be surprised by how spectacular the stacked rocks are.

Although there are several deeper straits, the inner part of the Partnach is so narrow that even the sun barely gets through. This makes the experience wild and adventurous.

Opening hours

The Partnachklamm is one of the few gorges in Europe that is also open in winter. It welcomes visitors all year round, with two opening hours. Entry is possible 30 minutes before closing.

• Season: all year round
• Winter season: (Oct-May) 08:00 - 18:00, every day
• Summer season: (June-Sept) 06:00 - 20:00, every day

In extreme weather, the management will close the gorge without prior notice. However, this is very rare - if it has been raining heavily in the area for several days, it might be worth calling the gorge to ensure they are open.
