If you're looking for your next Alpine adventure then this home will serve you well. Based in Mühlbach am Hochkönig – a mountain village dubbed 'Ore of the Alps' – this lovely chalet will allow you to take in the sounds, smells and sights of the Austrian landscape. Wake up to views of lush, green countryside and mist rolling over the peaks of the distant mountains, and eat your breakfast on the balcony dreaming about what adventure you're going to embark on later in the day. There are plenty of adventures to be had in this region of Austria with amazing opportunities for skiing during the winter and scenic hiking during the summer. Within a nine-minute drive, you can be in Hochkönig ski area for awesome downhill runs and cross-country trails (or take the scenic route with the village ski lift), and within a thirteen-minute drive, you'll be at Arthurhaus – where the one-hour hiking path to Hochkeil is highly regarded for breathtaking panoramic views. After your adventures, you can look forward to returning to your cosy chalet to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate in front of the fire – or jump in the private sauna for the ultimate... treat. Heavenly.
