In the summer the Karbachalm cable car from near the village, will take you up to a height of 1600 metres to begin your walk. There are fantastic views of the Hochkönig mountain range and many typical Austrian mountain restaurants to enjoy. In winter the Hochkönig ski area has 39 lifts, 150 km of groomed slopes and 40 km of maintained cross-country trails.The area has a good record for snow. From our house the free ski bus is just 5 minutes walk, and this takes you either to the Mitterberg-Hochkeil area, which is excellent for beginners, or the cable car where you can ski from Mühlbach to Maria Alm and back. From the cable car you can ski right back to within 2 minutes of our house, snow conditions permitting.
