Ski tour from Arthurhaus in Mühlbach to Mitterfeldalm
When the snow cover in the valley becomes thin, there are still rewarding winter destinations in the Arthurhaus ski area on the sunny side of the Hochkönig: One of them is the Mitterfeldalm.
A small ski area between 1500 and 1750 meters above sea level also manages without snow cannons. The well-maintained facilities around Arthurhaus (1502 m) are proof: snowshoe hiking, cross-country skiing, skiing, and winter hiking are popular among all winter enthusiasts who are looking for enjoyable places. Additional support comes from the attractive bus service that connects Mühlbach with Arthurhaus during lift operating hours. Of course, ski tourers also get their money’s worth, ranging from the very demanding 6-hour alpine tour on the Hochkönig (2941 m) to the 1-hour introductory tour on the Hochkeil (1784 m). The tour to the Mitterfeldalm lies in the medium difficulty range, with a mix of ascents and descents. A very special treat for public transport users is the 8 km long descent over the Knappensteig to Bischofshofen at the end.

Directions
From the Arthurhaus stop at the car park and past the practice lift below, then left onto the sunny, moderately ascending summer path to the Mitterfeldalm (1670 m). After the fence, sharp left and with rapid altitude gain to the rocks at just under 1900 m above sea level. The descent leads left past the Mitterfeldalm over wide clearings and alpine pastures to a maximum of the lower forest edge (1350 m). After the re-ascent, under very safe conditions as before, up to the rocks, then cross the fence and traverse below the Mandlwand to a suitable descent slope. Or descend from the Mitterfeldalm along the ascent and then to the easily recognizable jump hill opposite. To the left of it is usually an ascent track to the Hochkeil, otherwise on the winter hiking trail (cross-country skiing track) in the flat Troiboden. From the Hochkeil, head northeast over clearings, crossing a forest road, on the mostly groomed Knappensteig past the Gasthof Bürglhöh to Bischofshofen. Left along the meadow and on foot in 20 minutes towards the "center" to the train station.
