A Hochkönig winter is not a question of either-or...

...but rather both-and.

Extensive, wide and perfectly groomed slopes make the hearts of skiers and snowboarders beat faster – no matter whether it's the first turns on the practice slope or the sporting challenges on the Marlies Schild training track. With three snow and fun parks – the Kings Park in Mühlbach is even one of the longest parks in Austria – and on an 850 metre long funslope, there is always fun to be had on the move. Away from the groomed slopes, new challenges await. Powder and glittering deep-snow slopes promise pure happiness for freeriders.

A few metres from the ski slopes, cross-country skiers can do their laps in front of the majestic backdrop of the Hochkönig. 40 kilometres of groomed trails are available. Maria Alm also entices you with a night time cross-country skiing track and on the high-altitude trails in Mühlbach and on the Dientner Sattel you can glide over the snow close to the sky. Winter holidaymakers also experience pure enjoyment when tobogganing, winter hiking, ski touring or whilst on a horse-drawn sleigh ride.

5 reasons for the perfect winter holiday in the Hochkönig region

  1. Experience the entire ski area in just one day: 
    6 peaks, 35 kilometres of piste and 7,500 metres of altitude difference await you on the Kings Tour. Make the tour unforgettable and capture it at the photo points Aberg Langeck, Gabühel and Kings Cab mountain station along the tour.
  2. Indulge like a king: 
    The culinary royal tours combine winter sports and enjoyment in a unique way. The tours go from ski hut to ski hut and from course to course. Whether it's love of the local area, enjoyment of the peaks or a love of mountain huts – you can start the tours every day throughout the entire ski area.
  3. Family winter in the Hochkönig: 
    With unbeatable offers such as the family bonus, young family tickets, the Easter family special or the Junior Weekend Bonus, you can take your turns in the ski area with peace of mind, while your children are safely looked after in the Schneewutzel children's club or in the ski school.
  4. Off-piste winter fun: 
    Discover the freedom of the Hochkönig region on snowshoes, on a ski tour or on an evening toboggan run.
  5. The feeling of “THERE IS SO MUCH TO EXPERIENCE”:
    On the Hochkönig, events are more than just a supporting programme. Casual music events like the Alpine Craft Festival, culinary highlights like the Gondel.Alm.Genuss and traditional event classics like the Skihüttenroas - there's always something going on at the peak of emotions.
