Hiking Trail of Arts

The Hiking Trail of Arts from the top station of the Asitz lift to the mid station of the Asitz lift is dedicated to a different theme each year. The Hiking Trail of Arts will be on display from 16.06.2024 to around 20.10.2024. The trail can still be used depending on the weather and snow conditions. 

The Hiking Trail of Arts is designed by Fieberbrunn artist and photographer Toni Niederwieser with the title: BERG.SPIEL.

Take the Asitz- or the Steinberg lift up to the top station at 1760 m. Below the Asitz top station begins the beautiful forest path through the 'Peaceful waters up on the Asitz' area to the Senses Park at the Asitz mid station. Every 30 to 40 metres there are pictures by Anton Thuswaldner, inviting you to take a break and look around. The artworks are on display from early June to mid-October.

The Hiking Trail of Arts 2025 pays tribute to the life's work of the internationally renowned artist Anton Thuswaldner (17 July 1929 - 2 March 2021) in a retrospective. Sculptor, painter, draughtsman. His works have been described as contradictory, doubtful and suggestive. There is something mystical about the Kaprun artist's complex art. He seems to have spun his own worlds of numbers and letter codes and hidden secrets around himself. In fact, it is a critique, a warning and a powerful wake-up call to society. Thuswaldner's art is about freedom, reality, time and peace. Themes that were as important then as they are today. The figures make the step towards abstraction clear; they can be deciphered if you know the easy-to-break code. A concept, a word, a message emerges from the mountain of numbers, representing a reality. Each viewer puts it together anew.
