warum jetzt vielleicht die schönste Zeit beginnt
Herbst am Hochkönig
01.09.2026- 08.11.2026
Wenn der Sommer langsam leiser wird, beginnt am Hochkönig eine Zeit, die wir besonders lieben.
Die Luft wird klarer, die Farben intensiver und auf den Wegen rund um Mühlbach kehrt Ruhe ein. Morgens liegt manchmal noch ein feiner Nebel über dem Tal, während die ersten Sonnenstrahlen bereits die Mandlwand erreichen. Tagsüber laden die angenehmen Temperaturen zu Wanderungen ein und am Abend fühlt sich die Wärme der Sauna wieder ein kleines bisschen besser an.
Der Herbst am Hochkönig ist für uns keine Zeit zwischen Sommer und Winter. Er ist eine eigene Jahreszeit und vielleicht sogar eine der schönsten für eine Auszeit in den Bergen.
Hiking against the backdrop of the Hochkönig
Right around Mühlbach, there are plenty of opportunities to experience fall on foot.
If you’d like to take it easy, you’ll find walks and short hikes through forests and across alpine meadows. If you’d like to be out a little longer, you can head toward Arthurhaus and Hochkeil or choose one of the scenic routes along the Hochkönig massif.
One of our favorite things about this: You don’t have to set out early every morning.
At the stieg’nhaus, the day starts off deliberately slow. We serve breakfast until 1:00 p.m. That leaves plenty of time for an extra cup of coffee, a leisurely breakfast, and still a few hours on the mountain afterward. Our current breakfast hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Our Perfect Fall Getaway at the Hochkönig
How would we spend four days in the fall?
Enjoy your vacation at the Hochkönig
Day 1: Arrive, take a stroll through Mühlbach, visit the Rooftop Spa, and then have dinner.
Day 2: A hearty breakfast, a hike around Arthurhaus, Hochkeil, or Mandlwand, and back to the Stieg’nhaus in the afternoon.
Day 3: Take the mountain railway up, enjoy the panoramic views, stop for a bite to eat at an alpine hut, and let the evening wind down slowly.
Day 4: Another long breakfast. Maybe a massage. And only then head back home.
Don’t try to do as much as possible.
Do the right things.
