Maria Alm

The beautiful village of Maria Alm, nestles at the foot of the 3,000m high Hochkonig Mountain and is situated in one of the most spectacular parts of Salzburgerland. The village is home to the stunning 13thC. Pilgrims Church, its 83m high spire the tallest in the province. Although steeped in Austrian tradition and presenting a picture-postcard image, Maria Alm offers state of the art facilities for visitors to enjoy the mountains in both winter & summer. In summer the window boxes are a riot of geraniums. www.skiamade.com

Winter 2004 saw a world first in Maria Alm; a unique combined 8-seater gondola and 6-seat chairlift, which takes skiers to the summit of Aberg above Maria Alm in under 4 minutes. The Hochkonig Ski region links the villages of Maria Alm, Dienten & Muhlbach providing 150km of Groomed Pistes served by 37 lifts along with plenty of opportunity for Off-Piste adventures.  As the Tour operators have not taken over the area, queuing is unheard of!  


Golfers are well catered for in this area with 5 championship courses within a 20-mile radius. The closest, www.golf-urslautal.at , is just a half a mile from the apartment. This jewel of a course is set on a sunny plateau surrounded by the most magnificent mountain scenery you can imagine. The course is beautifully manicured with championship quality greens, and with the added bonus of excellent practice facilities including a 3-hole academy course.

Maria Alm is a wonderful place to be in late spring, summer or early Autumn, with lots of trails for walking, fishing, cycling, mountain biking, water activities & tennis. There are lots of stunning walks for all levels of fitness and enthusiasm around the area - Taking a chair lift up and walking down is also an option!
There is a lovely open air pool with a flume surrounded by grass and Tennis / Sports Courts. A local favourite for swimming is the lake at Saalfelden, which is surprisingly warm, has a large grassy area for relaxing and wonderful views of the mountains as you swim.

 There is a diverse selection of great quality Hotels, Restaurants & Bars in the village ensuring that you will never be short of choice for eating and drinking.
