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

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. If you are also looking for a professional introduction, you can book a taster course with the Mallnitz ski school at a reduced price.
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!
