Family Summer & Autumn Holidays in Maria Alm am Hochkönig

Summer & Autumn Holidays with Children in the Austrian Alps

A family summer holiday in Maria Alm is all about mountains, outdoor adventures, playtime and plenty of time together. In autumn, the pace slows down, the mountain air turns crisp and the forests burst into colour – perfect for families looking to combine nature, adventure and relaxation in the Austrian Alps.

The HOCHKÖNIGIN is located right in Maria Alm am Hochkönig and makes an ideal base for a family holiday in the Salzburg region. The Natrun cable car up to Prinzenberg is just around 300 metres from the hotel, while family-friendly hiking trails and adventure mountains are almost on the doorstep. With the Hochkönig Card, numerous attractions and services are included or discounted throughout summer and autumn.

From the forest slide park and Prinzensee mountain lake to hiking with children, mountain biking and summer tobogganing, there is plenty to discover around the HOCHKÖNIGIN. And when it is time to slow down, families can enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the FAMILY SPA or QUEEN SPA. If the weather has other plans, the FUN ARENA and KIDDYZONE 24/7 offer plenty of indoor fun right at the hotel.

Prinzenberg Natrun – Family Adventures Just 300 Metres from the Hotel

Sometimes the next family adventure really does begin almost on the doorstep. Just around 300 metres from the HOCHKÖNIGIN, the Natrun cable car takes families up to Prinzenberg Natrun in Maria Alm. Sliding, climbing, playing, hiking or simply relaxing by the mountain lake – every family can find their own favourite way to spend the day here.

 

Even better, many of the experiences can easily be combined. Take the gondola up the mountain, enjoy a short family hike, stop for a break at Prinzensee and then make your way back towards the valley via the forest slide park. Suddenly, hiking with children feels much more like an adventure.

Forest Slide Park in Maria Alm

Five stainless-steel slides turn the journey down the mountain into an adventure of its own. Tunnel and wave slides add plenty of excitement along the way, while parents can take things at a more leisurely pace. A pushchair-friendly hiking trail runs alongside the slides – particularly convenient for families with younger children.

Prinzensee – A Mountain Break with a View

Time to slow things down for a moment. Prinzensee at Natrun is surrounded by the mountains above Maria Alm and makes a wonderful spot for a family break. Stretch out your legs, enjoy the mountain views and decide which adventure should come next.

High Ropes Course & Playgrounds

Families who prefer climbing to sliding will find even more opportunities for adventure at Natrun. The high ropes course, play areas and family trails make Prinzenberg a great destination where younger and older adventurers can easily spend the day together.

Hiking with Children in Maria Alm am Hochkönig

Small steps, big views – hiking with children in the Hochkönig region can be wonderfully easy. Around Maria Alm, family-friendly hiking trails, adventure paths and leisurely walks turn a day in the mountains into an experience for the whole family. And when little legs need a break, the summer cable cars make reaching the mountains even easier.

 

In summer, a family hike in Maria Alm can easily be combined with mountain playgrounds, lakes and a well-earned stop at an alpine hut. Autumn brings a completely different atmosphere: crisp mountain air, colourful forests and pleasantly peaceful trails make an autumn hiking holiday with children in the Austrian Alps particularly special.

Family Hiking Can Be Easy

It does not always have to be about reaching the summit. For families, the little discoveries along the way are often what matter most: a stream to dip tired feet into, an alpine hut for a well-earned break, a playground in the mountains or a gondola that makes the journey back down a little easier.

Around the HOCHKÖNIGIN, families can enjoy:

  • easy, family-friendly hiking trails
  • adventure and themed trails for children

Family Summer Holidays – Favourite Adventures around Maria Alm

A summer day in the Hochkönig region can be whatever your family wants it to be: take the cable car up the mountain in the morning, send a wooden ball racing down a track at lunchtime and finish the afternoon with summer tobogganing or a giant swing. Around Maria Alm, plenty of summer activities for families combine outdoor adventures, nature and lots of fun.

And the best part? There is no need to plan every minute of the day. Many family attractions can easily be combined with a hike, a cable car ride or a leisurely stop at an alpine hut.

Toni’s Alpine Playground & Wooden Ball Track in Mühlbach

High up in the mountains, a rather impressive playground awaits little adventurers. Toni’s Almspielplatz in the Hochkönig region combines playtime, outdoor activity and mountain adventures with a climbing tower, water and sand play areas, slacklines and plenty more to discover.

A particular highlight is the wooden ball track: grab a ball and watch it travel from one station to the next. Suddenly, even a walk in the mountains becomes a little family adventure.

DISCOVER TONI’S ALPINE PLAYGROUND

Summer Tobogganing with Children

Autumn Holidays with Children in Maria Alm am Hochkönig

When the forests around Maria Alm begin to change colour, the mountain air turns crisp and the trails become a little quieter, a particularly beautiful season for families begins. An autumn holiday with children in Maria Alm means spending time outdoors, hiking together, stopping at alpine huts, discovering the mountains – and sometimes simply enjoying having nowhere else to be.

The autumn holidays in the Hochkönig region are ideal for families who love mountains and shared experiences but prefer to take things at a more relaxed pace. Many hiking trails and attractions can still be explored, while the cable cars – depending on seasonal operating times – make it easy for families to head up into the mountains.

Family Hiking through Colourful Forests and Crisp Mountain Air

Autumn does not need a packed itinerary. Sometimes an easy family hike, leaves rustling beneath your feet, a break at an alpine hut and views of the peaks surrounding Maria Alm are more than enough.

Family-friendly hiking and adventure trails make autumn in the Hochkönig region with children both varied and wonderfully relaxed. And with temperatures often more comfortable than on hot summer days, it is an especially pleasant time to explore the mountains together.

Farmers’ Autumn in Maria Alm – Experience Local Traditions

Late summer and autumn bring something rather special to Maria Alm: the Salzburg Farmers’ Autumn (Bauernherbst). Regional specialities, living traditions, traditional events and the unique atmosphere throughout the region give families an authentic glimpse into local life in the Hochkönig mountains.

It turns an autumn holiday into more than just time in the mountains – it becomes a little taste of Salzburg tradition too.

And What If the Autumn Weather Has Other Plans?

Then the family fun simply moves indoors. At the HOCHKÖNIGIN, the 600 m² FUN ARENA, KIDDYZONE 24/7, QUEEN SPA and FAMILY SPA offer plenty for younger and older guests. While the children play, climb or splash around, the grown-ups can slow things down a little too.

Because a family autumn holiday in the Austrian Alps should never depend on the weather.
