The treasure of Mallnitz consists of natural elements
- a healing climate at an excellent altitude (one of 12 municipalities in Austria entitled to be called a healing area);
- extremely good water quality;
- fresh and clean air, maintained by hectares of forest;
- rich fauna and no predators.
Remarkably, over the last two hundred years more than 350 km of paths have been built, at every level of difficulty – from easy, flat walks up to paths on the peaks above 3,000 metres.
The healthy network includes
- a skiing area with almost 250 km of slopes (Ankogel, Mölltaler Glacier, Bad Gastein);
- 50 km of cross-country ski trails;
- sports facilities (swimming, football, tennis courts, fitness, biking, rafting, canyoning…);
- a recuperation and wellness area – sauna, massage, reiki treatment;
- thermal baths and the Heilstollen (thermal healing with radon) in Bad Gastein (15 minutes by train);
- a well-known rehabilitation clinic and motor-skills park in Obervellach (10 minutes by car).
Transport connections are an important asset
- an intercity train station, with direct links to most European cities every two hours, both from the north (Salzburg/Germany) and from the south (Klagenfurt/Italy);
- 5 major airports nearby: Munich (Germany) – 250 km, Venice and Treviso (Italy) – 330 km, Ljubljana – 160 km, Salzburg – 100 km and Klagenfurt – 110 km;
- motorways within 30 km, towards Italy, Slovenia, Germany and Hungary.
Tremendous human resources
- in the hospitality industry;
- in IT, energy, services, commerce and banking;
- in health and care;
all of them members of our NGOs: the alpine association, singers, traditional dancers, Mountain Rescue, the voluntary fire brigade…
