When fabulous snow-covered landscape combines with perfectly prepared pistes, and skiers and freestylers find themselves just as much in their element as cross-country skiers and lovers of gourmet food, then the Hochkönig winter season has begun. The new Gabühel lift in Dienten opens for the first time in the 2019/20 season, providing even more comfort and skiing fun. The Hochkönig is truly an Eldorado for winter sports fans and gourmet connoisseurs. This is where the heart of winter is beating!
Expansive, wide, perfectly prepared pistes get every skier and snowboarder excited, whether practising their first turns on the nursery slopes, or attempting the athletic challenges of the Marlies Schild training piste. A few metres away, cross-country skiers follow the trails with the majestic backdrop of the Hochkönig massif. There are 40 km of prepared trails to enjoy. In Maria Alm there is also a night cross country ski trail, and the high altitude trails in Mühlbach and Dienten take your cross-country skiing a level closer to heaven. Further fun awaits winter guests in the Hochkönig Region such as tobogganing, winter hiking, ski touring or fatbiking. Lovely light powder snow and glistening powder slopes offer freeriders pure pleasure too, and the 3 snow parks, fun parks, and 850 m long funslope add to the fun; at 1.8 km long, the Blue Tomato Kings Park in Mühlbach is one of the longest parks in Austria.
