A perfect winter morning – cross-country skiing in Mallnitz

A winter’s day in Mallnitz often starts like this: bright blue skies, a crisp -4 degrees Celsius and perfectly groomed cross-country ski trails. That’s exactly what called me out into the wintry national park this morning – an invitation I couldn’t resist.

Out and about early on the trails

Loipeneinstieg bei Apartments Hohenberger in Mallnitz im Nationalpark Hohe Tauern | Kärnten

At 09:00, I was the first on the freshly groomed trail, which was prepared by the trail crew Mallnitz once again prepared to the highest standard. The entrance directly behind the Apartments Hohenberger makes it particularly easy to start your winter day right away.

Mallnitz normally offers around 25 kilometers of perfectly groomed natural snow trails, which offer ideal conditions for both classic cross-country skiers and skating fans. Today, 6 km are groomed. Especially the cooler Tauern Valley with its gentle ascents and spectacular views of the peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park is a real highlight for all those who appreciate the combination of exercise and nature experience.

Cross-country skiing extras for guests at Apartments Hohenberger

Another plus for guests of Apartments Hohenberger in winter 2025: Thanks to our cooperation with Alpine Pearls Mallnitz there is the possibility try out cross-country skiing for a day free of charge. Via the RESI app our guests receive a cross-country skiing day ticket as well as the complete cross-country skiing equipment from Wolligger Sports – skating or classic, just as you wish.

An enjoyable finale: breakfast at 'Das Liebermann' café

After a long cross-country skiing tour, a little refreshment is just the thing. Guests of Apartments Hohenberger can look forward to a discounted regional breakfast in the ‘Das Liebermann’ café in the BIOS National Park Center. A perfect end to an active morning on the trails!

2 concerts by Pro Musica Mallnitz at the turn of the year

Mallnitz was once again dominated by classical music at the turn of the year 2024-25: with two impressive concerts, the Pro Musica Mallnitz and the invited artists showed why it has been a base for classical music in the Hohe Tauern National Park for decades.

Concert in the Mallnitz parish church - December 29, 2024

Pro Musica Mallnitz am 29. Dezember 2024 Streichquintett
mit Mitgliedern des Kärntner Sinfonieorchesters

The first evening was on December 29 with a concert in the Mallnitz parish church with its fantastic acoustics.

The festive atmosphere of the church provided the perfect setting to bring the year to a musical close.

An evening full of emotion, which was met with enthusiasm by the visitors.

36th New Year's Concert - January 2, 2025

36. Neujahrskonzert – 2. Jänner 2025 Zalodek Ensemble mit Mitgliedern der Wiener Philharmoniker

The next highlight was the 36th New Year’s Concert, which took place in Mallnitz on January 2, 2025.

The renowned Zalodek Ensemble with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra led by Martin Zalodek delighted the audience with an extraordinary program. Unfortunately, Laura Olivia Spengel had to cancel due to a cold.

The musical quality and passion of the musicians made this concert in a packed Tauernsaal an unforgettable start to the new year.

Pro Musica Mallnitz - Music tradition since 1988

Since its foundation in 1988, Pro Musica Mallnitz has been dedicated to the cultivation and promotion of classical music. With a top-class range of concerts, Mallnitz has developed into a cultural meeting place that attracts music lovers from near and far year after year. The Mallnitz Music Summer is also part of the tradition of the classical summer resort.

The careful selection of artists always guarantees the highest quality. In combination with the impressive natural backdrop of the Hohe Tauern National Park, Pro Musica impressively demonstrates how well culture and nature complement each other.

Culture and nature - a perfect symbiosis

The Pro Musica Mallnitz music festival is an example of how the beauty of nature and the art of music merge to create a unique experience. The majestic mountain world and the classical sounds create an atmosphere that inspires and touches in equal measure.

Conclusion: A cultural highlight in the Hohe Tauern

The concerts at the turn of the year 2024/25 have once again shown why Pro Musica Mallnitz is known far beyond the borders of Mallnitz. The next concert will take place on 16 April 2025 in the Mallnitz parish church: “The Seven Last Words of Our Savior on the Cross” – Joseph Haydn: String Quartet op. 51 and then we look forward to the program of the Mallnitz Music Summer 2025, where the Hohe Tauern National Park will be dedicated to classical music from mid-July to September!
