Piste map of Maria Alm
The piste map of Maria Alm shows the resort's link to the large Hochkönig ski area with 120 km of pistes. The map stretches from the picturesque village at 802 metres up to an altitude of 1 900 metres, and shows how three resorts, Maria Alm, Dienten and Mühlbach, are connected by the lift system. The Königstour circuit, a popular 32 km day tour that takes you right around the Hochkönig massif, is clearly marked on the map. The family areas at the base station, with a children's lift and nursery slopes, are kept separate from the more advanced pistes.

How to ski in Maria Alm
Families and beginners will find their slopes right by the base station in Maria Alm, at an altitude of 802 metres. The children's lift and nursery slopes are gathered here, set apart from the rest of the system, so you can practise at your own pace before heading out onto the bigger pistes higher up.
The more demanding terrain lies further up the system, where the flanks steepen as you approach the summit at 1 900 metres. This is where you meet the red and black sections linking Maria Alm with Dienten and Mühlbach, and it is on these stretches that the 1 100 metre vertical drop makes itself felt most clearly in the legs.
The whole Hochkönig area is joined up by a shared lift system between the three resorts, which means you can ski right around the massif in a single day. The 32 km Königstour circuit is the clearest illustration of this, taking you through several different types of terrain before you end up back where you started.
A practical tip is to plan your day around where the sun is, as the 1 100 metre difference between village and summit means snow conditions can vary considerably between morning and afternoon. The lower pistes near Maria Alm often become heavier later in the day, while the upper sections towards 1 900 metres stay colder and drier for longer.
