Ski amadé van A tot Z

No winter holiday is complete without trying an exciting toboggan ride, which is sure to bring back some fond childhood memories! What could be more beautiful, after all, than hurtling down the snowy winter landscape through the forest and into the valley?

The 2.5-kilometre long natural toboggan run is ideally maintained. Night owls will also be able to have their fun – with the toboggan run and walking route lit in the evening! 

A trip through the white mountains is an unforgettable experience. In winter, hot air balloon rides are performed from Flaggl Balloning GmbH in Filzmoos. Further information at the tourist information.

SafetyLine - the continuous safety system - a relaxed climbing experience for parents and children.

AN ADVENTURE WITH SAFETY – FREERIDE INFO POINT

Freeriding takes place away from the slopes and comes with its own natural dangers. You have to take into consideration such things as avalanche alert levels, exposure, slope gradient, snow cover, and emergency equipment. In classic ski areas, information for freeriders is in short supply. Not so in the Hochkönig ski region.

Find out about the most popular freeride routes on the mountain and the up-to-date avalanche risk at the freeride info point at the summit station of the Aberg gondola. With the help of the built-in avalanche beacon checker, you can make sure that your avalanche transceiver is working. Safety is thus guaranteed while you are out and about.

Directly at the mountain station Grossberg.

Next to the valley station of the Papageno gondola.

The culinary highlight of the Schladming-Dachstein region!
The AlmArenA impresses with excellent food and a relaxed atmosphere right on the ski slope at the Hauser Kaibling valley station.

The extensive menu offers much more than an "ordinary" ski hut. Only high quality products are processed and drinks and food are served just as the chefs, Christian Gappmayr and Christian Steiner, would like to enjoy themselves!

You want to be up to date before your visit – then you will find all information such as. the menu and drinks menu at www.almarena.at

Opening times: daily from 8:00 a.m., ideal for early risers who want to start a perfect day of skiing with a delicious breakfast ;-)

Perfect location as it is directly at the top station of the Alpendorf Gondola. Self service restaurant.
