Ski amadé van A tot Z

Modern, cozy self-service restaurant with a large sun terrace

The Dachstein seems close enough to touch! The Kessleralm is the only hut right in the heart of the Planai (valley station Lärchkogel middle station cable car), all large slopes lead to the hut, it is therefore ideal as a meeting point. We pamper you with a comprehensive, home-style cuisine as well as homemade pastries every day. Relax, soak up the sun or flirt with après-ski at the beautiful umbrella bar: the central point of contact on the Planai! Accessible at any time by car or taxi.

... perfect Ski amadé enjoyment in winter. The Königstour starts at the lifestyle hotel in the Hochkönig region and connects the three towns of Maria Alm, Dienten and Mühlbach. The most beautiful ski circuit in the Alps in winter and one of the most impressive mountain panoramas in Austria in summer, of course not just during the holidays.

Growing with the village for generations, the Eder is much more than just a hotel on the village square. It is a place where cordiality is still very important and humor is never neglected. Warm, genuine and lively - just as it simply has to be in the middle of it all. Experience a holiday in the village, right in the middle between the colorful village life of Maria Alm and the breathtaking natural backdrop of the Hochkönig.
