WINTER SEASON

Mühlbach am Hochkönig is part of the Hochkönig ski area. The ski area starts at Maria Alm and then runs all the way along the Hochkönig mountain massif to Mühlbach am Hochkönig.

The area has a diversity of blue, red and black ski slopes, but also snow and fun parks for children and very nice practice areas for real beginners.

The area is also known for the Königstour. This is a ski tour from Mühlbach to Maria Alm and back. Along the way you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Hochkönig and the Steinernen Meer.

The Hochkönig area is also known for its snow security in combination with the 3000 meter high Hochkönig mountain massif, making it often possible to ski well in December.

The nearest valley station is the Karbachalmbahn and it is about a 5 minute drive from the chalet. You can also take the free ski bus to the valley station in combination with your ski pass. The stop is 50 meters away, almost on the ground floor, from the chalet. The valley gondola is 1.4 km from the Chalet.

Higher up the mountain is the Hochkeil ski area, this area is very child-friendly and suitable for beginners. There are, among other things, very beautiful practice areas and a nice gastronomy.

You can buy the ski passes for the ski area in advance online at a discount or on site at the valley station. The rates take into account families with children.

In short, a real affordable and fun family destination where it never seems very busy on the slopes, even during the high season.
