Hochrindl between the FIS slope and adventure trails

Hochrindl appeals to travelers who want to divide their vacation days between winter sports, hikes, and special discoveries. The village lies in the heart of the Nockberge nature and landscape conservation area. The hiking area ranges from 800 to 2,441 meters above sea level. Alongside slopes and cross-country ski trails, the area offers adventure trails, disc golf, historical stories, and a tasting experience.

Slopes and winter sports

The Hochrindl ski area has 20 km of optimally groomed slopes, from easy runs for beginners to challenging slopes for experts, including a FIS course. European Cup races are regularly held on the “Krucken” run. Availability and grooming may vary depending on the season and operating conditions; check these details before planning a ski day. Hochrindl Ski School offers programs for children and adults, beginners and advanced skiers. Modern, well-maintained ski, snowboard, and cross-country ski equipment is available to suit different needs.

Hiking and cross-country skiing

The trails differ considerably in length and character: the Anderleloipe I is a 3.5 km easy cross-country ski trail. The Nature Panorama Hiking Trail is 13 km long and ungroomed. This lets you compare a shorter trail explicitly rated as easy with a considerably longer, ungroomed hiking trail when planning your outing. The hiking area ranges from 800 to 2,441 meters above sea level, providing the setting for hikes in Hochrindl.

Adventure trails and disc golf

The Zirbenzapfi Adventure Trail starts at the Herzl-Hütte, where you can get information and a trail map beforehand. The König Waldgeist Adventure Trail features a fairy tale, carved wooden figures, adventure playgrounds, and viewpoints. Before setting off, you can pick up a fairy-tale booklet with directions and a riddle for this trail at the Herzl-Hütte. If you’re traveling with children, you can choose between a trail with a map provided and a fairy-tale adventure with a riddle. A disc golf course has also been set up in front of the Herzl-Hütte on the Zirbenhang.

Stories, tastings, and quiet reflection

The wooden Tatarmandl figure on the Hochrindl country road marks the point reached by a “Tatar mound.” At the Almmatura, you taste and identify organic specialties, including “Luftgeselchter” bacon, Bündner meat, house sausages, “Glundner” cheese, farmhouse butter, farmhouse bread, cider, and “Zirbenkraft.” Hochrindl Mountain Chapel is open to all visitors at any time of day or night, whether for quiet reflection, a silent prayer, or a devotional service. So, in addition to active pursuits, Hochrindl offers opportunities to enjoy local food, discover history, and find quiet reflection.

Find the right holiday apartment for your kind of vacation

When looking for a holiday apartment in Hochrindl, start with your preferred daily activities: Is your focus on skiing and cross-country skiing, hiking trails and experiences with children, or tastings and quiet reflection?
