Königsleiten in Wald im Pinzgau
A small, picturesque village in a magnificent countryside
Mountain hikers and strollers will be in their element in the village of Königsleiten in Wald im Pinzgau
Königsleiten, located in Wald im Pinzgau, is located in between the Pinzgau hills to the north and the High Tauern mountain range to the south. Königsleiten/Wald im Pinzgau, the home of our Alpenwelt Resort, is a small, pleasantly located village whose history is closely linked to that of our hotel.
Here's how to get to our Alpenwelt Resort:
The founder of the Alpenwelt Resort is tied to the skiing activities in the Zillertal Arena.
Our hotel offers the ideal starting point for both relaxed strolls and for exciting mountain hikes. It's also worth mentioning that Zillertal is considered to be one of the birthplaces of Alpine mountaineering. As Alpismus arose in the mid-19th century, so did the number of visitors to Wald im Pinzgau also grow constantly.
The development of the winter tourism industry began in 1953-54 with the construction of the Gerlosstein ski area, now the Zillertal Arena today. Other lifts soon followed, the development of which Fritz Kröll, the founder of our Alpenwelt Resort today, played a key role as a pioneer.
The natural treasures of the Alps are protected here as well as nowhere else
The Zillertal Alps Natural Park combined with the High Tauern National Park and the Rieserferner-Ahrn Natural Park represents the largest nature reserve in the Alps, measuring 2,500 km² - over 600,000 acres. Our Alpenwelt Resort in the sub-region of Königsleiten in Wald im Pinzgau is located in the midst of this magnificent countryside. While our hotel is located directly in Königsleiten at an altitude of around 1,600 m and the village centre of Königsleiten in Wald im Pinzgau can be reached on foot in five minutes, the Salzachgeier, the prominent mountain and source of the River Salzach, is the highest point in the Wald im Pinzgau municipal region. The forest that put the "Wald" in "Wald im Pinzgau" - "Wald" being German for forest - represents around a third of the municipality's area and encompasses the Venediger Group's northern slopes, which drop steeply into the Salzach Valley here.
Enjoy the wonderful location of our Alpenwelt Resort with direct access to the gondola lift of the valley station! Marvel at this spectacular landscape that our home is in the middle of. You could hardly wish for a sunnier holiday - be it summer or winter! Be our guest here at the Alpenwelt Resort and in one of Tyrol's loveliest regions!
