Location
Located in the quiet mountain village of Mühlbach am Hochkönig, an hour’s drive from Salzburg, the hotel is set beside a village church and a few traditional houses, amid the steady rhythm of local life. Surrounded by Alpine meadows and dramatic peaks, Mühlbach is a place where life moves at a slower pace. The region is known for the Hochkönig massif, one of the most striking mountain ranges in the Austrian Alps. It’s a destination for hiking, climbing, and skiing, with panoramic trails, high-altitude pastures, and a direct connection to nature throughout the seasons. Guests can explore scenic hiking paths that wind through the landscape, leading to rustic Alpine huts and cozy mountain restaurants serving traditional regional fare. The city of Salzburg is known for its historic charm and the world-famous Salzburger Festspiele (Salzburg Festival)—one of the most renowned classical music and performing arts festivals in the world—and can easily be combined with a stay at the stieg’nhaus.
