In the middle of the beautiful skiing and hiking area Hochkönig, in the lovely village of Hinterthal, lies our delightful apartment. For us a dream that has come true, after many years of ski holidays in Hinterthal. As proven by the many people who return to this small mountain village summer and winter, it is clear that the village does something to you. Or as a resident once said: “Hinterthal gets under your skin.”
We regularly enjoy the tranquility, the Austrian hospitality, the delicious food and the surroundings. By renting out our apartment we have already allowed many people to experience the 'Hinterthal feeling'. Both in the winter and summer.
This website provides an impression of the atmosphere in addition to information. For the real feeling, however, you have to be in Hinterthal..
The apartment has 4 sleeping places and a cot. Internet is present. The house is on the first floor and is well insulated. You reach the house via a gallery at the rear of the building. On this side is also a large garden. Past the garden the stream the Urslau flows.
The Hochkönig area is part of the Bergtesgadener Alps in Salzburgerland. The highest point in the area is the Hochkönig, having been counted as high as 2941 meters, of which the summit requires a hefty hike alongside a glacier, the Übergossene Alm, to reach. At the summit you will find the Matrashaus, where you can catch your breath from the hike up and even stay the night, all while enjoying an absolutely spectacular view.
At the foot of the Hochkönig is the ski area that runs from Maria Alm to Mühlbach. The Hochkönigtour connects both villages and is a beautiful, but long day trip of about 35 kilometers..
Nature is overwhelming in this, not yet well-known, area. In more recent years, a lot has been invested in tourist facilities for both winter and summer. It makes a stay here even more pleasant.
Opposite our apartment is the ski slope. This connects directly to the Hochkönig Amadé area. In this contiguous area you can make beautiful day trips without having to finish one black run. They are of course there, for the skier who is looking for a challenge. Hinterthal lies at 1000 meters altitude and is snow-sure. In the village itself is a beginner's slope with ski school (and rental). Everything can be done.
In recent years Tourenski has become increasingly popular in Austria, also in Hinterthal. In addition, you can sled nearby and there are several ski shows.
What you will not find in Hinterthal: wild Après Ski parties and luminous crowds. You will find cozy ski huts along the slopes, sunny terraces and welcoming restaurants. Effort and relaxation come together in Hinterthal.
Hinterthal is located in the middle of a beautiful and varied walking and cycling area. You can explore the area in many ways; quiet hiking, mountain hiking, cabin tours, via ferrata and mountain climbing. But also (racing) bicycles, ATB, E-bike. For each his own.
The herbal walks and the nature trail on the Natrun, with an adventurous Waldseilgarten, are special. In addition, you can practice archery, sledding and of course swimming. Golfers can indulge in Maria Alm. You can make day trips to the Gross Glockner, the ice caves in Werfen and the lovely Zell am See. Incidentally, the beautiful Salzburg is only one hour away.
In short, in the summer you can enjoy yourself every day in Hinterthal and surroundings. In the evening you can relax in one of the restaurants with that typical Austrian hospitality.
