Hochkönig: Frequently Asked Questions
Is it a realistic day trip from Flachau?
Hochkönig is the furthest of the common day trips from Flachau, with Bischofshofen 13 km from the area and lift bases spread across three villages. Plan a full day and an early start.
How big is the ski area?
Hochkönig has around 120 km of piste served by roughly 34 lifts and cable cars between Maria Alm, Dienten and Mühlbach, which is comparable in size to the Flachau home area.
Who does the terrain suit?
Hochkönig suits skiers who like covering distance, since the pistes run village to village under the massif rather than circling one summit. Families and confident intermediates get the most out of it.
Which pass covers it?
Hochkönig is one of the five regions inside Ski amadé, so a pass valid for more than one day includes it. Day tickets bought elsewhere in the network do not.
How close are lifts to accommodation?
Lift access in Hochkönig is short from the main bases: 0.2 km from Maria Alm centre, 0.5 km from Dienten and 1.4 km from Mühlbach, with further bases at Hinterthal and Hintermoos.
