Reviews

James Coles

I have skied much of Europe and can tell you that the Hochkonig and Maria Alm truely are on of the best kept secrets, Affordable skiing, with heart and a genuinely traditional feel. The ski region has seen huge investment and promises something for everyone from beginners to Freeride experts. I now visit every year, I would recommend Skifix.co.uk to help with accommodation they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable making a super holiday.
