Few experiences are more memorable than sunrise in the mountains. Early walks, selected lift events and mountain breakfasts offer the chance to see the Hochkönig landscape in the soft light and stillness of the morning.
Options vary by season and date, so local schedules should be checked in advance. Whether reached on foot or as part of an organised experience, sunrise above the valley is a special highlight for couples, photographers and early risers.













Every stay at Chalet Stella Maria includes a complimentary HochkönigCard for every guest, giving you free access to mountain lifts, hiking buses and exclusive discounts throughout the region.
