Wurzeralm, Protected mountain area in Spital am Pyhrn, Austria
The Wurzeralm spans across elevations from 810 to 1,870 meters, featuring 22 kilometers of slopes and the largest high alpine moor in the Eastern Limestone Alps.
The development of Wurzeralm as a recreational destination began with the installation of Europe's fastest cable car system, transforming the natural landscape into an accessible mountain area.
The annual Night of Mountain Fires celebration on June 29 brings together local communities to mark the traditional mountain illumination festivities in the Austrian Alps.
The area provides parking for 1,000 vehicles and operates from June through October, with additional weekend openings in May, accessible via the ÖBB-Postbus line 911.
Visitors can experience the '2 Million Years in 2 Hours' circular hiking trail, which winds through varied geological formations and leads to the Brunnensteiner Lake.
