Despite the vast ski area, immaculate slopes and enviable snow record, the
Hochkönig Winter Kingdom is still largely unknown to the British market.
For the few keen British skiers that have discovered this incredibly beautiful
area with its quietpistes and short lift queues there's no looking back.
The Hochkönig ski area has 150 kilometres superbly groomed slopes stretching
from Maria Alm in the West to Mühlbach in the East. State-of-the-art lifts
and captivating powder snow provide all the variety you could hope for.
The Hochkönig ski area also forms part of the immense Ski Amadé
alliance allowing winter sports enthusiasts access to 276 lifts and 865kms of
superbly groomed slopes - all under one skipass!
Chalet guests like to warm up on the doorstep slopes in Maria Alm served by
3 lifts, including a high speed gondola to the Natrun. This interlinks down
into the valley to the Aberg-Langeck ski area on the other side, offering a
huge variety of pistes suitable for all abilities.The gentle blue runs from
the middle station of Abergbahn 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 there a regular ski bus service link to Hintertal to
where skiers will take the Three Valley connection to Dienten and onwards to
the resort of Mühlbach. Snowboarders enjoy the fun parks in Maria Alm,
Hinterreit and Aberg.
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.
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.
