Dienten am Hochkönig

Picture
Dienten am Hochkönig, together with the picturesque villages of Maria Alm and Mühlbach, forms part of the holiday region of Hochkönig. As the name suggests, Dienten is situated at the foot of the Hochkönig Mountain. The charming, idyllic and hospitable little village lies at 1071m above sea level, in the region of Salzburgerland. Dienten sits within the centre of the Hochkönig ski area, regarded as one of the most beautiful Alpine regions.

With only 800 inhabitants, Dienten at Hochkönig is a true family village. This small, enchanting village has a range of facilities and amenities which are easily reached on foot. Dienten is particularly attractive for families with children wishing to enjoy the peace and serenity of the area. There is also plenty of choice for those wanting a good night out. Dienten has a range of restaurants (traditional Austria cuisine, pizzeria, hotel restaurants, etc.), bars and cafés offering delicious food and drink.  There is a well-stocked supermarket, bakery, bank and a couple of sports shops.

Entertainment

Picture
The beauty of a staying in a Chalet Apartment is that you have the freedom to do what you want, when you want.  Watch out for the weekly programme during the high season where there is usually a weekly ski show and Austrian bands playing in selected restaurants.
​ 

Througout the year, in the beautiful capital of Salzburgerland, Salzburg,  music is around most corners as you wander around the old town. We recommend you visit the Salzburgerland Tourist Office and the Dienten Tourist Office for the very latest information.
