Arrival

Where is Maria Alm located? What is the easiest way to get there? Do I have to cross the infamous felt saddle? Do I need snow chains? Do I need a motorway tax sticker? Can I travel by public transport?

Maria Alm lies at the foot of the Steinernes Meer, in the middle of Salzburger Land and an hour’s drive from the city of Salzburg. The best route is via the small German corner, Lofer and Saalfelden to Maria Alm. This route saves you the motorway toll sticker and you don’t need snow chains in winter. So you don’t have to drive over the infamous felt saddle. And so you also save on snow chains.

If you prefer to take the motorway to Maria Alm, take the route from Salzburg via Werfen, Bischofshofen, St. Johann im Pongau and Zell am See to Maria Alm. Here, too, you don’t need snow chains in winter. But beware, you do need a motorway tax sticker.

Maria Alm can also be reached by public transport. The train runs from Salzburg to Saalfelden. And from Saalfelden there is a bus service to Maria Alm.

Ski school & bike school | Ski hire & bike hire

Do I have to book the ski school or bike school myself? Do I have to organise the ski or bike rental myself?

We are happy to give you insider tips. If you mention our collection to a selected service provider, you might get a percentage on top.

Where can I park my skis?

Skis can be stored free of charge in the Hochkönig region’s ski depot. This is located within walking distance. It is right next to the valley station of the Natrunbahn 10-seater gondola lift. You can get the key card for your access at reception.
