There are connections that change more than just travel times. The new Koralm Railway brings Graz and Carinthia closer together – making Mallnitz in the Hohe Tauern National Park even easier to reach for guests from Styria. Those who board the train in Graz today arrive in the south significantly more relaxed: no traffic jams, no searching for parking, and without the feeling of losing energy during the journey.
For many who have known Mallnitz for years, this feels like a small revolution. For everyone visiting us for the first time, it might be exactly the right moment: a mountain holiday that begins the moment you start your journey.
Why Mallnitz is now even closer to Graz
With the opening of the Koralm Railway, a new rail link between Styria and Carinthia has been created. Graz and Klagenfurt are now connected in a significantly shorter time – and the onward journey towards Mallnitz-Obervellach is also becoming more attractive.
Mallnitz is located directly on the Tauern Railway. The Mallnitz-Obervellach station is therefore not just “nearby,” but a genuine arrival point for a holiday in the Hohe Tauern National Park. That is exactly what makes the difference: those who come by train don’t get off at the edge of a motorway, but in the middle of an alpine landscape where the holiday feeling starts immediately.
Arriving without a car: station shuttle included
As an Alpine Pearls host, we at Apartments Hohenberger know how important mobility is on holiday. Especially when you consciously choose to travel by train.
That is why we are happy to arrange the Alpine Pearls station shuttle for our guests. You arrive at Mallnitz-Obervellach station – and are brought to your accommodation free of charge. No searching, no lugging bags, no organizational break between travel and vacation.
Those arriving by car are, of course, also welcome: there are plenty of parking spaces available directly at the house. But our goal is clear: even without a car, a holiday in Mallnitz should feel complete, free, and uncomplicated.
Mobile on site: bicycles at the house
For short trips during your holiday, you often don’t need a car. A quick shop in town, a short ride towards Lake Stappitz, a trip to the bakery – that is exactly what the bicycles at the house at Apartments Hohenberger are for.
Our guests can use the bikes easily, following the principle: first come, first served. For many routes in Mallnitz, this is perfectly sufficient. And once you have experienced how pleasant it is to cycle to the shops in the fresh morning air, you quickly understand why soft mobility doesn’t mean sacrifice, but freedom.

More InformationAnother connection between Graz and Mallnitz
The Arthur-von-Schmid-Haus
is located in the core zone of the Hohe Tauern National Park (Carinthia).
The ÖAV Graz Section acquired a plot of land at Lake Dösen in 1905, where the mountain hut was built in 1910/11 and inaugurated on July 9, 1911. This hut construction was made possible by a generous inheritance from the director of the Graz Commercial Academy, A. v. Schmid.
Currently, there are 8 direct connections per day without changing trains from Graz Hbf to Mallnitz-Obervellach and the travel time is approximately 2 hours 10 minutes.
All these are good arguments for a holiday at Apartments Hohenberger in the mountaineering village of Mallnitz in the Hohe Tauern National Park…
