Turrach: Turracher Höhe - Bergbahnen Turracher Höhe, Kornock Berg
Turracher Höhe sits at Turracher Pass in Styria, Austria, where the road crosses from Styria into Carinthia amid the Nockberge. The high plateau is shaped by Turracher See, with forests and rounded mountain slopes framing a settlement built around mountain travel and outdoor recreation. Lifts and marked mountain routes make the area a recognised base for skiing and walking, while the pass road gives it a more connected character than many Alpine resorts. Turrach, below the pass on the Styrian side, was historically associated with iron mining and forestry; Turracher Höhe developed as a mountain resort.

Among Styria’s mountain settlements, Turrach stands out for its position in the upper valley of the Turrach River, below the Turracher Höhe pass. This wooded Alpine corridor has long linked Styria with Carinthia, giving the small settlement a character shaped by a historic mountain route rather than urban bustle. South of the village, the pass rises to 1,763 metres beside Turracher See, an alpine lake in the Nock Mountains. Turrach is a fitting place to understand the borderland between two Austrian provinces, where forests, water and mountain roads set the rhythm.

The terrain of Styria ranges from Alpine ridges in the north and west to vine-covered hills in the southeast, giving Austria’s second-largest province a distinctly varied character. The Mur is its principal river, flowing through Graz, the provincial capital and largest city. Graz’s Old Town and Schloss Eggenberg are jointly inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, linking Renaissance and Baroque architecture to the region’s urban identity. Southern Styria is known for vineyards and pumpkin-seed oil, while forests and pastureland shape much of the interior.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
