Skiing in Maria Alm

The extensive skiing area in the Hochkönig region is one the most beautiful and varied skiing locations in the Alps. Family-friendly options and guaranteed snow cover set the Hochkönig region apart from others and have made it into a popular skiing eldorado. Skiers, snowboarders, freeriders and carvers will not fail to be enchanted by the 150 kilometres of perfectly groomed pistes, which invite them to enjoy an unforgettable winter holiday in Maria Alm.

Maria Alm is one of only a few ski resorts that has its own local mountain; the Natrun. It is approximately 1,200m high and the pistes run back down into the centre of the village. Two T-bar lifts and the Dorfj@t Natrun will take you comfortably up the mountainside where all the fun can begin. Freestylers will get their kicks on the Schönanger Funslope or at the Natrun Beginnerspark.

The “Königstour” has a very apt name because the route that can be mastered here in just one day is truly majestic. Your can join the route from Maria Alm, Dienten or Mühlbach. It does not matter where you start, you are guaranteed to enjoy the finest possible skiing on this 32km tour.

You can expect to enjoy steep slopes and red and blue runs at the skiing area at Natrun. If there is adequate snow cover, you can travel from Natrun to the valley station on the Aberg gondola lift. However, this red run is reserved for more experienced skiers. Beginners should take the ski bus.
