The Hochkönig Card

Hochkoenig Card, Haus Schneeberg

At Haus Schneeberg, Holiday Apartments in Mühlbach am Hochkönig, Salzburg, Austria, we are are very proud to be one of the partners of the local Tourist Office’s and mountain lifts Hochkönig summer Card scheme. This means that all guests that stay at Haus Schneeberg from May till October get the Hochkönig Card for free when you arrive! The card is valid from the day you arrive, and valid every day of your stay, to include the day of departure, so you can make the most of your holiday until the very last minute!  There are a limited number of accommodation Hochkönig Card providers, so make sure you stay at one!

You can save over €100 per family per day by just using the Hochkönig Card on a few activities during your stay! Even with a 2 night stay in summer, if you take a trip up to Toni’s Almspielplatz, then use the village pool on day one, and then take the bus to Maria Alm and up to Natrun to Prinzenberg, followed by a dip in the village pool in Maria Alm, you would save over €200 for a family of 4!

Many people ask if you can buy the Hochkönig Card separately if you do not stay at a property that offers it for free.  Unfortunately, you can’t buy the card separately, so make sure that you stay with a Hochkönig Card partner accommodation, so that the Hochkönig Card is inclusive in your stay!

Reviews with the Hochkönig Card

And our guests are loving it! See below some of the the reviews we have had:

 

A lovely hotel in a very nice place. The hosts are very friendly. They offer very tasty breakfast. The hosts have also considerately prepared a lot of booklets, Google map locations for the guests to get to the interesting local attractions more easily. What really cool are the Hochkönig cards, with which we can enjoy the Sommerbahn free of charge as many times as we want during the time we visited (in June). Would highly recommend this hotel and this region to any guests interested to spend vacation within beautiful mountains. One bonus, if you enjoy driving in a mountain, cutting every S-shaped curves, Hochkönig is definitely a good choice. ” Wenfeng, June 2019

 

Very nice apartment in a beautiful little town. The apartment was perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids. Our kids love the playground more or less across the street We also love the free Hochkoenig card witch allowed us to take the cable cars for free The nearest was less than 1 km away. ” Anders, August 2019

 

We loved staying in Alison and Jerome apartments in Mülbach am Höchkonig! The apartment was very clean and beautiful and had all amenities we needed including a functional kitchen. Their house is located in the middle of a little town that is truly a gem in the Alps. Alison and Jerome were very helpful and kind and they gave us lots of tips on outdoor activities in the area. They also provided us with a free activity and outdoor card that covered many summer lifts, swimming pools and activities in the area and we used it every day. Our only regret is not knowing about their place sooner and not being able to stay there for a longer period of time. We will be certainly back again! Excellent place for families ❤️” Rose July 2019

 

This is the perfect place to stay if you want to explore the stunning Höchkonig area. The apartment was ideal for our family of four. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Jerome and Alison are wonderful hosts. The kids LOVED the park across the street from the home. It was complete with a zip line and an awesome slide down a huge hill. Terrific to have it so close. We also made use of the Höchkonig card they provided. It gave us access to pools, chairlifts, a mountain roller coaster and more all free. Exceptional! This place is a must! We will we could spend more time there! It is also located in the village and is walking distance to shops and fabulous restaurants.” Ginnelle, June 2019
