Heiligenblut - holiday pleasure for young & old!
Heiligenblut (1,301 m) lies at the foot of the Großglockner at the upper end of the Möll Valley in the Hohe Tauern National Park. As the adjoining Großglockner high alpine road is closed in the winter, the small alpine town is free of through traffic, which adds to the peaceful atmosphere. In addition to the snowy fun in the ski area, every holidaymaker will find a suitable form of entertainment in Heiligenblut, from the indoor pool to the tobogganing run, and ice skating rink, as well as cosy cafes and restaurants right through to après ski bars and discos. Here you will find (almost) everything. The ski crèche "Snowland" ensures that there is a lot of fun to be had for the kids too. Finally, winter hiking trails invite you to savour and relax in the enchanting landscape.
SkiWith the lift pass "Großglockner" you will find 55 km of snow-sure and mainly free pistes, as well as 12 lift systems between the altitudes of 1,301 and 2,989 m available to use. Here, at the foot of the highest mountain in Austria (3,798 m), with a spectacular backdrop, skiers, boarders and carvers will find mainly intermediate pistes.
For practising the first swings in the snow, the wide slopes at the Sonn- and Fleissalm are ideal to use. The steepest piste from the Schareck peak to Fallbichl is something of a challenge, just as the ski route from Schareck to the Fleissalm. A unique experience is the ride from the Rossbach middle station to the Fleissalm in the tunnel lift, the only lift worldwide which leads through a former water transfer tunnel, and transports approx. 500 persons per hour.
As the majority of the pistes is above the tree line, there are also many off-piste possibilities to try a few swings directly alongside the piste. The free ride arena at the Grossglockner doesn't leave anything to be desired either. Between the Gjaidtroghöhe (2,989 m) and the mountain resort Heiligenblut there are various runs for skiers and snowboarders, which are just waiting to be explored. On an area of over 15 km², free riders can really let loose. Great ski tours can be found at the High Tauern National Park - this is one of the biggest ski tour areas of the Eastern Alps. There is even a National Park ski tours bus.
The quaint huts in the ski area invite you in for a traditional snack, which you can enjoy in front of a magnificent mountain panorama. Families with children and tranquillity seeker will feel well at home here.
The leisure activities in Heiligenblut surely won't leave you bored off the piste. After stopping in one of the cosy huts or bars, such as the "Laterndl", the "Mühle" or - very recommendable - the "Skistadl" with its renowned self-made Schnapps.
But you can even keep up the pace in the evenings and stay sporty! Whether that be curling or snowshoe hiking, in the indoor pool or in the squash centre - everyone finds the right activity here. Particularly recommended is a visit to the 1.1 km long illuminated natural tobogganing run "Ponwald". Numerous concerts and events round off the entertainment programme in Heiligenblut.
Small but mighty - is one way you could describe the cross-country skiing terrain in Heiligenblut. There is a total of 12 km of cross-country trails available here. The main advantage: all the trails start directly at the resort! The 2 km long high-altitude trail (2,200 m) at the Fallbichl is also well-suited for beginners.
The Sonnblick trail runs along at 950 m for 4 km, and is ideal for experienced cross-country skiers. The longest and most demanding trail, the Glockner trail, is approx. 6 km long. Both, the Sonnblick and Glockner trails, are connected to each other.
