Winter
Alpine skiing
Due to its location relative to the Hochkönig massif, the ski area of Mühlbach am Hochkönig has proved over the years to be a very snow-sure ski area. Depending on the snow conditions, the lifts are open from the beginning of December to mid-April.
A ski pass for the Hochkönig area is also the ski pass for the entire Ski Amadé area.
Summer
The Hochkönig area has many opportunities for activities for young and old in the winter but certainly also in the summer.
Hiking
Walking in the summer from the Hochkeil Lodge is just fantastic and it means walking in a great nature with flowering meadows and endless pine forests. There are more than 300 km of well-marked trails. The variety is large: There are tours with little difference in height, bypasses but certainly also brisk walks with a lot of differences in height. The views along the way are phenomenal. Along the way you will come across more than enough cozy Alm huts where you can enjoy a cool drink or a traditional Austrian dish to catch your breath.
You can literally start your walk in the back garden of Hochkeil Lodge. The “Hochkeilrundweg” runs over the Hochkeil mountain (1720m), a panoramic walk of 10.5 km.
The free ski bus changes to the free walking bus during the summer season (from May to October) and stops close to Hochkeil Lodge. The bus will drive you through the entire area.
Several lifts are in operation during the summer and these will take you up briskly, where you can start your walk on the meadows (open from May to November).
In short, more than enough for the walker to experience.
Cycling
The Hochkönig area is a delight and at the same time a challenge for cyclists. There are many routes that take you past amazing places with great views.
There are several bike shops in Mühlbach where you can rent both MTBs and e-bikes. Guided tours are possible if desired. Is your e-bike empty? No problem there are charging places on the way.
Ski Amadé comprises no less than 760 km (!) of slopes and consists of 5 ski areas; Hochkönig (120 km of slopes), Gasteinertal (187 km of slopes), Großarltal (80 km of slopes), Salzburger Sportwelt (225 km of slopes) and Schladming-Dachstein (188 km of slopes), making it the largest ski area in Austria. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced skier, there is something for everyone. You can go anywhere with your ski pass and the ski bus can take you to the surrounding areas.
The quiet Hochkönig ski area with a view of the impressive Hochkönig massif (2941 m) consists of the villages of Mühlbach, Dienten and Maria Alm (blue runs 52 km, red runs 41 km and black runs 19 km). The area is known for its long runs on wide varied slopes with fantastic views of the Hochkönig massif. Modern lifts and favourable waiting times make it a very attractive area. Skiing the Königstour (35 km) will take you from one side of the area to the other, without encountering the same slope twice.
Holiday destination
The winters are very snow-sure thanks to the local microclimate and in the summer, there are plenty of activities. This beautiful stretch of high mountains is worthwhile all year round!
The village of Mühlbach am Hochkönig is a 5-minute drive (4km) from the chalet and an 8-minute drive (6km) away is the modern Karbachalm Bahn cabin lift with ample (free) parking options.
In of Mühlbach am Hochkönig there a no chalets located at the piste. That’s why there’s ample free parking positions and the cabin lift can easily be reached.
The Karbachalm Bahn will take you to the Hochkönig ski area in a few minutes. A fully-fledged ski area with up-to-date lifts (33 units) and 120 km of slopes. In this ski area, the Königstour is a very popular skiing day trip of 35 km crossing 6 mountain peaks.
If you prefer to leave the car at home, the free ski bus stops a 5 short minutes’ walk from the chalet and takes you to the same Karbachalm Bahn.
The ski area of Hochkönig is part of the much larger Ski Amadé, which comprises 5 regions, 25 villages, 760 km of slopes and 270 lifts.
Around the corner from the chalet, the smaller ski area of Hochkeil is 3 minutes’ drive by car. It is a small area with a few tow lifts and is ideal for children to take their first meters on skis or for a day of snow fun on the sled or for a walk. Attention and care for the little ones.
This is also a crossroads of hiking trails along and over the Hochkönig massif in the summer. Hiking trails also start directly in the forest behind the lodge, a beautiful nature reserve where you can, amongst other things, walk the Hochkeilrundweg (10.5 km).
If you would like to enjoy classic Austrian cuisine, the locally beloved restaurant of the Grünholz guesthouse is 50 meters away from the chalet. Dinner at walking distance of your lodge, on a gorgeous mountain slope!
In case of snowfall it may be necessary to use snow chains to reach the Lodge by car.

Host informationElmer and Dominique are both lovers of active vacations in the mountains. After several mountain climbing courses in his youth, Elmer climbed Grossglockner at a young age. Dominique discovered the joyfull snow in the Alps when she was a little girl, barely able to walk, but already on skis. Both fell in love with the Hochkönig area and the Mühlbach valley.
During their holidays, they discovered that there is relatively little good quality accommodation in their beloved Alps.
But why should you take a step back in comfort and luxury on your precious holiday?
That is why they designed Hochkeil Lodge. From the very first sketch up to and including the crockery they have implemented their philosophy: Feeling one with the rustic & idyllic location, being overwhelmed and inspired by the beauty of the Alps and at the same time enjoying your holiday with your loved ones in a luxurious and atmospheric environment. No stress, no worries.
Now that the lodge is finally ready, Elmer and Dominique are both proud and h...

Die Unterkunft hat uns super gefallen und wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche im Chalet Hochkeil Lodge. Wir haben den Urlaub als Familie (6 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder) verbracht. Im Haus hatten wir alles was wir brauchten zur Verfügung. Es gibt eine super eingerichtete Küche, tolle Schlafzimmer und eine Sauna inklusive. Es hat an nichts gefehlt und alles war super. Die Kommunikation mit Familie Schilderman war reibungslos und alle unsere Wünsche (Babybett,...) wurden ausnahmslos erfüllt. Die Umgebung ist super und lädt zum Wandern und Verweilen ein. Einziger negativer Aspekt war für uns die Auffahrt zur Hochkeil Lodge. Im Winter womöglich nur mit Schneeketten erreichbar. Wir können die Lodge absolut weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank für die schöne Woche!
