Community alp Mitterbach (summit)
Description
With the lift up, with momentum down!
The Gemeindealpe Mitterbach guarantees action and fun!
Two modern chairlifts take you safely and comfortably from 800 m to 1,626 m above sea level in both summer and winter. Once you reach the summit, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding mountains of the Mostviertel region and Styria.
The modern and barrier-free Terzerhaus mountain restaurant at 1,622 m has a spacious sun terrace and a dining room with panoramic glazing. Look forward to regional delicacies and the best homemade pastries. An adventure climbing playground with suspension bridge, balancing paths, a spiral tube slide and a "Sonnwendfeuer tower" with viewing platform awaits children. The almost 800 m long panoramic circular trail around the summit, which is suitable for baby carriages, also starts at the Terzerhaus. There are several resting places along the way with information boards about the history of settlement around the Ötscher. Magnificent views included!
A special highlight is the descent with the mountain carts from the middle station. They whizz down into the valley on a 4.6 km long gravel track, guaranteeing plenty of fun.
NEW from summer 2025: Escape Trail
The Escape Trail is an exciting outdoor adventure puzzle rally where you solve a mysterious story together with others in the middle of nature. From summer 2025, "The Secret of the Gemeindealpe " awaits you on the Gemeindealpe Mitterbach - an interactive experience full of tricky tasks, ideal for young people aged 14 and over and adults.
In winter, an action-packed snowboarding and skiing paradise with a varied offer awaits.
Deep snow specialists will find a freeride area next to the steepest slope in Lower Austria in the summit area, while high-speed fans can enjoy a speed track with speed measurement. The centerpiece is the snow park, right by the middle station, equipped with 17 elements, including 15 rails/boxes and two kickers. The Funslope, which opened in 2016, ensures happy and smiling faces in the valley station area.
The ride on the Mariazell cable car promises a stress-free journey there and back.
