Alpendomizil in the Wintertime

Muhlbach am Hoch König is known by the locals as a “Schneeloch”.
Muhlbach/Dienten/Maria Alm are part of area’s with the highest certainties of snow.
Hoch König is also known for its beautiful surroundings.
Taking off from the Karbach Alm (Muhlbach) you can ski towards Maria Alm and back in a day, a very nice daytrip they do call it “Konigstour” (Kingstour) for a very good reason.
Besides the many kilometres blue, red en black ski-slopes there are more than plenty challenges to be found. For example the different Funparks across Hoch Konig (just in Muhlbach/Dienten there are at least tree parks).

The neighbourhood of Muhlbach is also known for its beautiful “tourski-“ possibilities.
Although the waiting-time for the lifts still small are, the Bergbahnen remain busy renewing and improving in order to live up to the expectations of their guests.
A few years back “Kings Cab” was build and they build new chairlifts in Dienten and Maria Alm. They also build “skibrucken” (ski-bridges), in order to create a real seamless connection between the villages.
The aera has also a number of Skiroutes and backcountry/freeride downhill.
The skiroutes are protected for avalanches, the freeride rides are not.
Throughout the skiing-area there are numerous restaurants and Apresski-bars.

Arthurhaus is a relatively small but is very child friendly and at these slopes it is really even less busy. And yet there are besides 3 blue slopes, a very nice red slope and a black slope and even a funpark.
