Family Hotel Hochkönig – Family Holiday in Maria Alm, Austria

Die HOCHKÖNIGIN is a family-run 4-star superior family hotel in Maria Alm at the foot of the Hochkönig mountain in Salzburg's Alpine region — with an indoor play world, FAMILY SPA, organic farm and direct access to over 340 kilometres of hiking trails and the Hochkönig / Ski amadé ski area.

Unlike a typical children's hotel, die HOCHKÖNIGIN combines family fun with genuine style: kids have room to explore on the 600 m² FUN ARENA, in the FAMILY SPA and on the hotel's own organic farm, Ebengut — while parents find real peace in the QUEEN SPA or the adults-only TIARA SPA rooftop. Just 300 metres from the Natrun cable car, the hotel is a year-round base for an Austrian family holiday: hiking and biking in summer, ski-in/ski-out in winter.
