With the new Teleworking Act, which has been in force since January 1, 2025, Austrians can now complete their professional tasks not only in the classic home office, but also at other freely selectable locations. This opens up exciting opportunities for so-called workation – the combination of work and vacation – in the picturesque mountains of Mallnitz.
Teleworking refers to working outside the traditional office, whereby employees carry out their tasks from a location of their choice, as long as this is agreed with the employer.
Mallnitz: The perfect place for your workation
Nestled in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, Mallnitz offers an ideal combination of unspoiled nature, tranquillity and modern infrastructure. With its IC train station Mallnitz-Obervellach, which is excellently connected to the Austrian railroad network via the Tauernbahn, you can reach Mallnitz comfortably and sustainably (ATTENTION: the Tauern tunnel is currently being repaired and the connection to Salzburg will not be possible again until July 2025). The train connections from Vienna or Villach, among others, make a stress-free journey possible – without a car.
Mallnitz is more than just a vacation resort: it is a retreat that offers the perfect balance between productivity and relaxation. Start your working day with a view of the snow-capped mountains, use your lunch break for a short hike in the Tauern valley and end the evening in the Swiss stone pine sauna of the Tauernbad.
What the new Teleworking Act makes possible
The Teleworking Act 2025 extends the previous regulations on working from home. Employees are now permitted to carry out their work using information and communication technology at a location of their choice – be it in a coworking space, a café or even a cozy vacation accommodation such as the Apartments Hohenberger in Mallnitz. The prerequisite is a written agreement with the employer in which the location of the work performance is defined.
