Mallnitz, a town of almost a thousand inhabitants situated on the main ridge of the Alps, lies in the heart of Europe, in the province of Carinthia, Austria, at an altitude of 1,200 m.
The mountains surrounding Mallnitz reach an average altitude of up to 3,000 m. The highest mountain in Mallnitz is the Hochalmspitze, at 3,360 m above sea level, and the highest mountain in Austria, the Grossglockner (3,798 m), is only a few kilometres away.
One of the first tourist areas in Austria – first for hiking, then as a ski resort – Mallnitz benefits from an excellent communication infrastructure and has most of the attributes and characteristics of a SMART and also of a HEALTHY city.
One of our most important assets is that we live in one of the nicest and biggest national parks in central Europe: Hohe Tauern (1,856 km²).
