Poster: A snowHead
|
Has anyone been here? It's near Zell Am See and get's a great recommendation in the Guardian but it only has a paragraph in Where to Ski and Snowboard. Anyone know what the skiing is like?

Well, have been to Maria Alm which v nice and is linked along with Muhlbach. It's a very pleasant ski area, nothing gnarly about at. Lots of terrain to keep you busy.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

BenTisdall, Only did Maria Alm and only briefly. It's all very piste-oriented so I'd say you won't exactly be in off-piste heaven.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

There are some fabulous off-piste opportunities but not a lot is lift-served. Dienten is the middle of the three inter-linked resorts of Maria Alm, Dienten and Mühlbach and are collectively known as the Hochkönig. I've been going there on and off since the late 1980s. It is very much a hidden jewel as far as the UK market is concerned, and to be honest, I hope it stays that way.
BenTisdall, try looking under the Hochkönig instead of just Dienten.

It is part of Ski Amadé; so have a look on their website too.
Very pretty area, very family orientated.
I haven't skied off-piste there but I think there was a video on Ski Sunday last year.
The area is very wooded so finding some tree skiing certainly won't be a problem!

Bode Swiller, they also did a report on the Hochkönig I remember watching it as it featured the Maria alm end mostly and included my friend's chalet.

Do you have a link to the report?
My Brothers Father in Law owns a place there and I really cannot recommed it more!
Massive scope now with all the left improvements, lots of great terrain parks.
I thoroughly recommend Peters Bar in Dienten for Apres fun!
