The picturesque village of Maria Alm lies in the midst of unspoiled nature, surrounded by the imposing Steinernes Meer mountain range and the lush green grassy mountains, in particular the Hundstein (2117 m).
The village of Maria Alm has a unique charm that brings people closer together: a central point is the village square, where you can find everything you need, where you can meet up with those you want to meet, and where sometimes a chance meeting will lead to a new friendship; one that can be cemented further over a beer in the village inn. The tower of the pilgrimage Church of Maria Alm rises over the scene; at 76 m, it is the tallest tower in Salzburgerland and is the emblem of the small village.
The parish of Maria Alm also includes Hinterthal and Hintermoos, both at an altitude of 1000 m above sea level and nestled in the Alpine mountain environment. All three places offer visitors indescribable landscape and scenery that you will remember forever. For those spending some time here, you will find a wide selection of relaxation opportunities and activities in the midst of unspoiled nature…
The mountains, the high plains, and the valleys lend themselves perfectly to hiking, whilst the rocky peaks and the numerous high altitude tours keep the mountaineers happy. The cycling and mountain bike routes in the area range from very easy to challenging, whilst a comprehensive infrastructure with a great outdoor leisure pool and a children’s camp add to the holiday package here…
Winter gives Maria Alm a powdery white face, packs the village in cotton wool and transforms the surroundings into a glistening wonderland. For those who succumb to the magic of this season, there is plenty on offer here: cross-country ski routes in Maria Alm and Hinterthal, Alpine skiing and boarding on Aberg and in the Hochkönig region, learning your first turns with a trained ski instructor, tobogganing fun with a social stop for refreshment, beautiful tours and snowshoe hikes, romantic horse-drawn sleigh rides…
