The Hochkönig ski area has 150 kilometres of superb
slopes stretching from Maria Alm in the west to Mühlbach in the east. Whether you prefer the
conventional approach on two skis, hitting the halfpipe on your snowboard, or getting away from the crowds -
a wealth of superbly groomed slopes, state-of-the-art lifts and captivating powder snow provide all the variety you could hope for.
Choose this resort for:
Traditional picture postcard village with lots of great skiing - part of the big and undiscovered Hochkönig ski circuit.
Immaculate slopes and enviable snow record.
Quiet pistes and short lift queues.
On The Slopes
The gentle blue runs from the middle station of the Aberg allow beginners to ease themselves into their ski experience.
Bold tree lined runs from the summit at 2000m are designed to provide the right amount of exhilaration for advanced skiers. Intermediates have a
massive choice of cruising reds, ski tours and glorious long runs throughout the Ski Circuit.
From the Aberg summit, at 2000m, it's a long enjoyable cruise down to Hintermoos. From Hintermoos there's a
ski bus service link to Hintertal to where skiers will take the Three Valley connection to Dienten and onwards to the resort of Mühlbach.
Off The Slopes
The village of Maria Alm is surely one of prettiest in Austria, reminiscent of a winter fairytale with its picturesque streets, timbered houses and gentle little
river meandering through the centre. Charming traditional restaurants serve delicious quality food. There is a fantastic choice of mountain restaurants, large
and small, all of them traditional in style with terrific food served by friendly Austrian staff.
