Hochkönig up close

The long-awaited dream winter vacation

We, the Burgschwaiger family from the Vital-Hotel Post in Dienten am Hochkönig, will show you how crunchy snow feels under your feet. How the clear winter air fills your lungs with the best oxygen. How to have fun, burn off energy, and then relax in the Hochkönig winter region. How a strange place becomes a place of longing.

The peaks of the majestic Hochkönig massif bathed in white, the dense coniferous forests covered in snow, snow crystals hanging from the rustic alpine huts. Test out the 33 state-of-the-art lifts in the Hochkönig ski area, complete the Hochkeil ski touring trail, hike the snowshoe trail, and much more. That's winter!
