It is located on an altitude of 1,120 m at Natrun nearby Maria Alm.
The "Königstour" is a wonderful ski route in Hochkönig ski region. On a length of 35 km, it leads over five mountains and is one of the longest ski rounds in the Alps. It is possible to ski the tour in about one skiing day, which makes it a good option for a day trip with the whole family. "Königstour" connects the ski areas of Mühlbach, Dienten and Maria Alm (since 2012) and was awarded the best ski circuit in 2014. Since the winter season 2018/19, the mountain local to Maria Alm is also connected to the main skiing area in am Aberg: with this, a direct ski in/ski out connection from Maria Alm to the Königstour is now possible
