Daily from Monday to Friday, guided hikes through the surrounding hill country as well as high-alpine mountaineering expeditions (“Alpine Package”) led by professional mountain guides are offered, for an outdoor activity program that is as varied and enjoyable as you could possibly wish for.
Aside from many different and rewarding destinations, such as the Hundstein (elev. 2,117 m), the Hochkeil and, of course, the Hochkönig (2,941 m), the Königsweg trail is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful hiking tours. Experienced rock climbers and mountaineers also find their own piece of heaven here with us, on the Hochkönig massif/Mandelwände, as well as on fixed-cable climbs known as via ferratas!
