SKIING<\/h3>\n

Winter in Hochk\u00f6nig Lodge is wonderful. The lodge is located centrally in Ski Amad\u00e9 with its 760 km skislopes<\/strong>. Ski Amad\u00e9 is the largest ski area in Austria<\/strong> and consists of 5 linked areas \u2013 Hochk\u00f6nig, Gasteinertal, Salzburger Sportwelt, Schladming-Dachstein and Grossarltal. You can enjoy all Ski Amad\u00e9 has to offer with one ski-pass.<\/p>\n

Hochk\u00f6nig Lodge is situated in M\u00fchlbach am Hochk\u00f6nig. The ski area Hochk\u00f6nig has 120 km ski slopes.<\/strong> The size of the Hochk\u00f6nig ski-area is great for beginners and experienced skiers, and especially suitable if you are on holidays with a group of friends or family with all different levels of experience. It is very easy to meet each other for lunch or for the apres-ski, but still enough challenge for the experienced skier.
\nThe ski area offers great views of the Hochk\u00f6nig massif (2941 m), and the villages Dienten, Maria Alm and M\u00fchlbach are connected with high-speed modern lifts and a free skibus.\u00a0<\/strong>The area also offers various cozy places to enjoy your kaisersmarren or apfelstrudel.
\nThe lifts and slopes in Hochk\u00f6nig area are designed as such that you can ski from one side to the other without taking a slope or lift twice. This is called the K\u00f6nigstour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Especially for small children and beginners there is another ski area on the other side of the valley (only 10 minutes drive from the lodge, and also the ski-bus will take you there) \u2013 the Hochkeil. This area is not connected to the Hochk\u00f6nig area, but has everything a beginner and families with little kids need. If you only use this area there is special ski-pass available, which is a cheaper option.<\/p>\n
