Discover Almdorf Königsleiten

Almdorf Königsleiten combines high-alpine views with varied trails and a distinctive winter sports landscape. The village lies between the Pinzgau Grass Mountains to the north and the mountain groups of the Hohe Tauern to the south. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home as a base for varied days away will find a destination where skiing, mountain hikes, nature observation, cycling and regional culture exist side by side.

Winter sports in the Zillertal Arena

For a winter holiday, the Zillertal Arena is the defining experience. The ski area stretches from Zell in the Zillertal via Gerlos to Wald-Königsleiten and Krimml-Hochkrimml. A total of 150 kilometres of ski runs and 52 lift facilities are available. Skiing is possible there at elevations of up to 2,500 metres. The Dorfbahn Königsleiten gondola takes visitors directly from Königsleiten to the mountain station at an elevation of 2,200 metres. This makes it possible to combine the choice of accommodation with the question of whether the holiday should focus primarily on winter sports, mountain panoramas or a mixture of different activities.

The landscape also presents itself from a unique perspective away from the ski slopes. The Königsleiten–Hochkrimml/Filzstein winter hiking trail offers panoramic views of the Zillertal Alps, the Grass Mountains and the Hohe Tauern. Such trails give travel planning a different rhythm than a day of skiing and also make the surrounding area visible as a mountain landscape.

Hiking trails with special themes

In summer, several trails lead to a variety of experiences. The family hike to the Königsleitenspitze begins at the mountain station of the Dorfbahn Königsleiten and leads to the 2,315-metre-high summit. The Planet Trail runs through forests, raised bogs and alpine meadows and offers views of Ice Age formations in Hohe Tauern National Park. Those who pay attention to choosing accommodation with a good base for days filled with nature and mountain experiences can include both hiking ideas in their personal travel plans.

The yodel hiking trail offers a special combination of landscape and regional tradition. It begins at the mountain station of the Dorfbahn Königsleiten; the first station is next to the Gipfeltreffen restaurant. At the experience stations, visitors can learn traditional yodels to sing along with using an audio station. The trail is intended for summer use and can be used free of charge. This creates an outing that combines exercise with a cultural discovery without requiring a purely sports-focused programme.

Chapel, summit world and further activities

The Christ the King Chapel, the village church of Königsleiten, is part of the village's history. It was built in 1989 on a slight rise in the centre of the village, is dedicated to Christ the King and depicts the floating Christ as the Redeemer. Those who would also like to visit architectural or religious sites during their holiday can combine this visit with a stay in the village.

The Elektro-TRIAL-Park Königsleiten and the Königsleiten Summit World at Kröndlwurmsee provide additional variety. The Elektro-TRIAL-Park is located at an elevation of 1,600 metres and comprises two courses with different levels of difficulty and track lengths. The Summit World features a natural playground with a wooden marble run. Cyclists can plan a tour via the Gerlos Alpine Road to Krimml and back to Wald via the Tauern Cycle Path. Another cycling tour reaches the Königsleiten holiday village at an elevation of 1,600 metres after approximately 7 kilometres from the centre of Wald.

Choose accommodation based on your holiday focus

The location between Wald, Krimml, Hochkrimml and the Zillertal makes it sensible to decide on your preferred focus before looking for accommodation. For days of skiing, the facilities of the Zillertal Arena are the main consideration, while hikers can take the mountain station, the Planet Trail, the Königsleitenspitze or the panoramic route to Hochkrimml into account. Regional mobility can also be included: hiking buses operate between Wald, Krimml, Hochkrimml and Königsleiten, as well as to the Zillertal. This means that a holiday apartment in Almdorf Königsleiten can serve as a base for differently planned days without limiting the trip to just one activity.
