MÜHLBACH – THE ANIMAL MOUNTAIN VILLAGE

Mühlbach is an old copper mining village now known as a quiet winter ski resort and a summer hiking and cycling area. The region boasts several famous mountain peaks, such as the Schneeberg and the Hochkönig.

Mühlbach lies at the foot of the “HOCHKÖNIG” ski area, which is part of Austria’s largest ski area: SKI AMADÉ. The Hochkönig ski area is young, large, diverse, and has a very personal touch. All of this makes it one big white snow paradise, a ski area you’ll want to return to year after year. Mühlbach, Dienten, and Maria Alm are connected by the Hochkönig tour: Enjoy 32 uninterrupted kilometers of slopes and 6700 meters of altitude difference, all in one day. Whether you enjoy skiing with friends or family, prefer to spend the day in the snowpark, or seek the challenge of ski touring, you can truly indulge yourself here!

In summer, Mühlbach transforms into the Animal Mountain Village and a Sports Village! Why? Because here, the fox and the hare literally say goodnight! In Mühlbach, you’ll find at least twice as many animals as inhabitants. The countless attractions you can visit and admire often feature many animal programs for children, and just a 2-minute walk from the hotel, you’ll find a first outdoor amusement park!

Furthermore, this region is ideally suited for sports enthusiasts: cycling, hiking, mountain biking, trail running… in the wonderful mountain air, it’s all about enjoying and discovering the beauty of the Alpine nature, day after day. The hiking trails at the foot of the Hochkönig will impress you with dreamy panoramas. In summer, you can hike on the marked routes; in winter, these routes are transformed into ideal slopes for tobogganing and skiing. Mühlbach remains one of the most beautiful insider tips in the Alps.
