Arthurhaus to Hochkönig

A long and rewarding hike to the summit of Hochkönig

An incredible, ever-changing hike that takes you to the top of Hochkönig, a famous landmark and a beautiful peak.

Parking at Arturhaus, the signposted trail takes you past a farm and a hut up onto the rocky winding trail into the mountains. You'll pass the tall Torsäule face, a great wall for climbing. There may be some climbers on the wall and (if you've got good eyes and/or binoculars) you should be able to pick out a few of them snaking their way up the famous face.

After the winding trail you'll come out onto the main plateau, which is barren, full of bare rock and filled with icy glacial pools.

Eventually you'll see the Matrashaus in the distance, before ascending a metal staircase up a steep rock wall onto the final section.

From the top you'll have stunning views over the valley.

You can stay the night at Matrashaus, but definitely reserve your place in advance as it can be popular and get booked up. Whether you stay the night or not, you can choose whether to descend this route, or head east down to Hinterthal.
