Rauris, Alpine municipality in Pinzgau, Austria

The municipality extends through the Raurisertal valley at 1000 meters elevation, surrounded by the peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park.

Archaeological findings near Rauriser Tauern include a gilt neck ring from 400 BC, silver coins of Philip II, and a bronze sword from 1300 BC.

The Rauriser Tauernhaus, established in 1491, remains a testament to medieval hospitality, serving travelers crossing the mountain passes between regions.

The municipality provides 32 kilometers of ski slopes across ten lifts, while summer visitors access extensive hiking networks in the national park.

The Sonnblick weather station, built in 1886, stands as Europe's first high-altitude meteorological observation point, connected by cable car since 1954.
