Mallnitz - a sea of mountain peaks!
The lovely resort Mallnitz provides excellent value for the price, and is thus destined for great things! At an altitude of about 1,200 m at the foot of the Ankogel (3,252 m), one of the tallest mountains in Carinthia. The infrastructure in the hospitable resort is perfectly geared toward winter holidays. With its small-town charm, Mallnitz is an ideal spot for families and those seeking relaxation.
And in culinary terms, the mountain offers total diversity. At the edge of the Mölltal Glacier at 2,800 m you'll find the highest winter garden in all of Carinthia and the panorama restaurant ''Eissee''. The enormous construction of steel and glass bethrones the so-called eternal ice, and reflects in its glass surfaces the mountain world from the Schareck over the Sonnblick all the way to the Lienzer Dolomites. The menu also ''mirrors'' the delicacies of Carinthia as well as international cuisine. This ''glass palace'' is also easily accessible for non-skiers via the Glacier Express and the Eissee gondola.
SkiWith the lift pass "Ski Hit", you have access to 186 km of wonderful pistes and ski routes in East Tyrol's nine ski areas (see ski region).
The charming village of Mallnitz, at the foot of the Ankogel, is a well-kept secret for families. In the large ski surface at the Köfel lifts in the valley, even beginners will quickly get the hang of the curves. The youngsters can count on Pinguin Bobo and his ski school to learn the basics. The local mountain Ankogel (1.267-2.637 m) is high on the list of favourite ski areas in Austria, with around 12.5 km of pistes and enchanting descents. Above all, the wide, free peak pistes with marvellous views all the way to the Grossglockner and the Dolomites, as well as the 7 km-long valley descent toward Mallnitz with 1,349 m difference of elevation have real potential to become addictive! It is also Carinthia's longest, snow-secure piste. Ankogel has a legendary reputation between free riders as well.
On the Mölltaler Glacier (2,200 m - 3,120 m), many beginners from the Ski and Board Academy have their first ride. With its about 17.5 km of pistes, ''Mölli'' is there to be enjoyed by all types of skiers and boarders. A total of 9 modern lifts, including the underground Mölltal-Express, will take you comfortably to the glacier at Schareck. The tree-free Cinemascope pistes lure in swarms of carvers. If you really want to feel the burn, take the 7 km-long, highest altitude FIS run in Carinthia on the Mölltal Glacier. The snowboard fun park with boardercross, jumps, and wave-run, as well as the tree-free peak slopes just below 3,000 m are know as "Möllis Best for Boarders".
Apès ski is rather more quiet in Mölltal. Still, Carinthian hospitality is a top priority here. Some cosy lodges and snack stations invite the skiers to linger during and after a day on the piste. In the afternoons, ice skating or tobogganing provide an extra portion of fun. The evenings in Mölltal should be enjoyed in one of the numerous restaurants and inns, and later on, if desired, in one of the bars - the "Ankogel Bar" and the "Sportscafé" are waiting to be explored. Those who like to hit the dance floor should not miss a visit to the disco "Tanzstadl Ankogel".
Away from the pistes, Mallnitz has a lot to offer. You can enjoy ice skating or tobogganing on Carinthia's longest toboggan run. Segway-tours or snowshoe hikes are also very popular. With the national park Hohe Tauern, you will find the largest winter hiking terrain within the Eastern Alps right in front of your door. Relaxation can be found in the "Tauernbad" with activity sauna. In the "Tauernsaal" however, rock climbers will find what the are looking for.
Fans of Nordic ski sports will surely not be bored in Mölltal. Numerous tracks with varying degrees of difficulty are waiting to be explored. Around Mallnitz you will find a network of 25 km of routes, at Flattach there are 20 km, Obervellach offers a total of 30 km and the Mölltaler Glacier has 2.5 km of track. For this, however, a ticket for the mountain railway is needed.
Very appealing are the high altitude tracks "Jamnigalm" and the "Mölltaler Glacier track", which, thanks to their high altitude at 2,000 m, can still be used when the snow is already melting in the valley. The trails in Mallnitz takes you through the beautiful national park valleys Seebachtal and Tauerntal. Close to the resort centre there is additionally a laser biathlon parcours.
Rather challenging routes are the trails at Flattach and Obervellach, which both pass through the valley.
The Mölltal cross-country trail network is labelled with a quality seal.
