Hochmaisbahn in summer

Summer lifts

The Hochmaisbahn in Maria Alm takes you comfortably up to the Gabühel. At 1,634 metres above sea level, you can enjoy wide views of the Hochkönig and a relaxed summer experience for the whole family. Right at the mountain station, the Hochkönig swing park, a large playground and the Steinbockalm invite you to stay awhile.
