There is always something going on in the outdoor pools around Maria Alm.

The Sommerstein adventure pool in Maria Alm invites you to swim on hot summer days. With a 40 m long water slide, current canal, floor bubbles, dousing showers, bench with massage jets, children’s pool, play stream and children’s playground it provides lots of fun for every family member.

 

Besides hiking and biking in Maria Alm, there is a wide range of summer activities on offer, for example, climbing, mountain climbing, trail running, riding and much more.

At a super-class trail running event, you run over gravel, fields and through forests and on open terrain. The Hochkönig region is pretty much made for this sport, with its varied routes and the exceptional Alpine panorama.

 

There are three major trail running events which take place every year in the Hochkönig. The Hochkönigman is very impressive with 7 competitions, with a total length of 198km and 12,630 height metres. The historical “Kumpellauf” commemorates the mining era in Mühlbach. Experience the unique event atmosphere during your summer holiday at the Hochkönig.

One of the most beautiful golf courses in Salzburger Land is situated between Saalfelden and Maria Alm. The 18-hole golf course of the GC Urslautal offers an impressive view of the mountain, the “Steinerne Meer – The Stone Sea”.
