Hiking in the Hohe Tauern National Park is a true delight. Whether you're planning a gentle hike along the Kölnbrein Reservoir, a nice day trip to one of the three-thousand-metre peaks in the national park, or a challenging tour of the Hochalmspitze, there is something for everyone in Malta. Depending on the year and time of day, a variety of animals and plants can be admired and observed in the Hohe Tauern.
The Kölnbrein Dam car park is the ideal starting point for many hikes and mountain tours. On the various hiking trails, it is always worth stopping to take a closer look or listen. Patience is often rewarded with beautiful discoveries.
The hiking area is in a high-alpine region. So you need to pay attention to a few important points:
The via ferrata is situated against the impressive backdrop of Austria’s highest dam wall; “Damm High!”
The via ferrata with a 200 m long rope has several short training sessions and children’s climbing routes.
You can hire a via ferrata set at the Berghotel Malta. (Limited number)
The circular trail with 14 stations takes you through climbing frames, climbing sections, a Tibetan bridge, and adventurous obstacles to one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the Kölnbrein Dam. Family fun with unique views!
The mountain slopes around the Kölnbrein Dam are the ski touring paradise par excellence for every alpinist. The Berghotel Malta is the ideal starting point for tours of varying levels of difficulty at an altitude of around 2,000 m. Depending on the snow conditions, the ski touring season is from the start to the end of May.
