Hochkönig in SalzburgerLand: the holiday destination for a mix of activities

A mix of everything during your summer holiday is often not easy. We want to rest and recover a bit, but we also want to do business. We don't want too many tourists around us, but we do want fun. We are in the countryside, but we also enjoy good restaurants. How on earth do you achieve that? By booking a holiday to Hochkönig.

 

This region, located in Austria's SalzburgerLand, is your answer for a versatile holiday (with or without kids).

Going from region to region to get the most out of that diverse holiday could be a nice option to really do anything and everything during your holiday. In SalzburgerLand the regions are ideally close together and connected to the Netherlands (you can easily get there by car, train or plane).

To name just one activity, you can go in any direction on two wheels alone with pedals. Cycling, mountain biking, e-biking, gravel biking: you call, SalzburgerLand turns. The renewed SalzburgerLand gravel tour will be launched from May 2024. Cycling only a short distance is also ideal: the bike can easily be taken up in the elevator, there are many special biker hotels, facilities to hose down your bike, many free charging points for the e-bike and so on. . The world championship course at Leogang is also one hits.

Who what where Hochkönig? You should go around the villages of Maria Alm, Dienten and Mühlbach for cycling on quiet roads to a walk on the Alpine pastures. There are countless routes for e-bikes (including free charging points) and mountain bikes. As a hiker you are guaranteed to get your money's worth with more than 300 kilometers of certified hiking trails. Already exhausted from the idea of ​​having to climb up? The cable cars are there for a reason and they also run at full speed in the summer.

We already talked about the kids, is it fun for them too? Duh, thanks to the Hochkönig swing park with swings in the waterfalls, playgrounds and the longest marble track in SalzburgerLand (550 meters), that is certainly the case.

With the HochkönigCard it all becomes a lot cheaper thanks to attractive discounts or even free attractions and events in the region. For example, six cable cars, two outdoor swimming pools, the Hochkönig hiking bus and all public transport in Pinzgau are free with the HochkönigCard if you stay with one of the partner companies.
