Because we want to channel our inner strength and make the most natural of all movements - running - glide with skis and poles, we head for the cross-country ski trail. The trail that makes us realise the size of the mountains and our own. The rhythm of life changes perceptibly, our sense of well-being increases and we become one with the landscape in which we are moving.
A total of 40 kilometres of cross-country trails are spread across the villages of Maria Alm, Dienten and Mühlbach - your cross-country skiing paradise in the heart of Salzburger Land. One high-altitude trail even offers the best views of the region and Maria Alm, the centre for cross-country skiing on the Hochkönig. Why not start your cross-country skiing tour directly from the resort, as they start just a stone's throw away from the HOCHKÖNIGIN. So nothing stands in the way of magical moments on cross-country skis during your skiing holiday in Maria Alm.
You don't have to be in full training to venture out on cross-country skis. Even for beginners, cross-country skiing on the Hochkönig offers plenty of opportunities to get a taste of this healthy sport. Sporty cross-country skiers naturally enjoy the challenge and may even overcome their own limits as they glide along the valley in skating or classic style. Enrich your winter holiday according to your skill level, desire and mood in one of the most beautiful cross-country skiing regions in Austria.
One of the highlights is certainly the 7-kilometre-long panoramic trail on the Dientner Sattel between the villages of Dienten and Mühlbach. The night cross-country trail on the Gasteg cross-country trail in Maria Alm is also popular, promising cross-country skiing under floodlights and starry skies.
Cross-country skiing in the Hochkönig is as unique as the entire region. The best trails meet a breathtaking mountain panorama and are also accessible late at night on the cross-country ski trail. All cross-country ski trails and their status can be viewed in the tour portal.
