From the Ski World Cup to the Apartment

20 June, 202527 June, 2025in Holiday Apartment, Spring, Winter by Florian Hohenberger

Those who regularly follow ski races on TV have long known them: Grapos has become an integral part of the international ski circuit as a sponsor. The unmistakable glasses symbolize refreshment, style, and alpine passion – exactly what we want to offer our guests.

From now on, guests in our holiday apartments will find a new motivation to reward themselves after a day on the slopes: with their favorite drink – served in the original Grapos glass! Whether it’s a thirst quencher or a clear glass of Mallnitz tap water.

Also in summer: Break-resistant, stylish, reliable

What has become quasi-standard in the ski circuit has also proven itself in completely different places: The break-resistant Grapos cups, which are available at www.grapos-shop.com, have long been used in hotel pools, wellness areas, and thermal baths – and have become indispensable.

Why? Because you can rely on the professionals from Grapos. Robust, elegant, and made for everyday use in tourism – that’s how we envision good equipment.

Do we still have rooms available?

Tranquility, Space, Retreat – why a Vacation Apartment is Sometimes just Right

7 June, 20257 June, 2025in Autumn, Holiday Apartment, Spring, Summer, Winter by Florian Hohenberger

There are places where everyday life doesn’t disappear – but quietly steps aside.
Mallnitz, the ÖAV mountaineering village in the National Park Hohe Tauern in Carinthia, is such a place. Those who arrive by train switch to a different pace. And those who choose a vacation apartment there don’t decide against comfort – but for a gentle retreat into their own space.

What is often technically listed as a “self-catering apartment” is in truth a space for rituals: your own tea in the morning, a window seat with a view of the Tauern Valley, breakfast in pajamas, cooking with regional ingredients, without any time pressure.

The Luxury of Your Own Time

In the vacation apartment, no one asks if you need anything else. And sometimes that’s more soothing than any room service. The dining table isn’t decorated, but ready. The kitchen doesn’t expect stars, but ingredients with origin. And those who choose this often carry the desire not to play the role of a guest while traveling, but to take a place – for their vacation, for themselves.

For Those Who Prefer to Arrive Rather Than Just Travel

Apartments Hohenberger in Mallnitz follow this idea with quiet consistency. Not mountain chalets with open fireplaces and Instagram decor, but Alpine Home Apartments with clear lines, wooden floors, a tranquility that isn’t staged, but grown. The house is a family-run business with history, neither intrusive nor preachy. Those who want can get tips for hikes, excursions, farm shops. Those who prefer silence can simply be there.

The fact that you arrive here by train – directly from Vienna through the Tauern tunnel – isn’t about sacrifice, but experience. The arrival has weight. The transition is fluid. And when the sun wakes up the Tauern Valley in the morning, the window doesn’t open to a view, but to a feeling.

Time That Isn't Timed

A vacation apartment also means: not being served, but shaping. For many, this isn’t a step backward – but part of a self-determined, mindful way of traveling and vacationing. Not because it’s cheaper, but because it’s more authentic.

Those who come to the mountaineering village of Mallnitz aren’t looking for animation. They’re looking for forest paths, granite, fresh air, and time to hike. And sometimes all it takes is an apartment with a wide view and a decent bread knife.

A perfect winter morning – cross-country skiing in Mallnitz

2 February, 20253 February, 2025in Cross-country skiing, Winter by Florian Hohenberger

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!
