Stieg'nhaus

In the charming Alpine village of Mühlbach am Hochkönig, located in Austria’s Hochkönig region within the Salzburg region, you’ll find Stieg’nhaus – a small and beautifully designed hideaway for travellers who appreciate tranquillity, nature and refined design. Set beside the village’s little church and framed by the striking Hochkönig peaks.

Stieg’nhaus occupies a traditional village house that has been restored with great care. Original stone details and the sculptural staircase were preserved, while the interior was reimagined with a serene, contemporary vision. Soft grey plaster walls, white-beige tones, oak floors and natural stone accents create an atmosphere of quiet elegance.

The design focuses on understated refinement. Rounded walls, soft lines, natural textures and gentle indirect lighting give the spaces a calming, almost meditative quality. Nothing feels excessive; instead, everything is crafted with intention. The style blends modern Alpine minimalism with warm, tactile materials.

The Hochkönig region is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Salzburg region. Dramatic limestone peaks, forests, meadows and panoramic paths define this area. In summer, countless hiking trails begin right from the village; in winter, the region becomes part of the Ski Amadé domain, offering wide, quiet slopes and breathtaking views. This is a place of charm and authenticity, far from mass tourism.

Six suites shaped by softness and simplicity

All six suites follow a calm, natural palette, with oak, wool, limewash and natural stone. Some overlook the church, others the surrounding peaks. Each suite is serene, understated and beautifully crafted.

Culinary enjoyment in a refined modern Alpine atmosphere

The kitchen at Stieg’nhaus works with seasonal and regional ingredients, serving refined, flavourful dishes in a stylish setting that perfectly reflects the hotel’s serene, modern Alpine aesthetic. The wine selection is carefully curated and introduced with personal, knowledgeable guidance.

In summer, you can dine on the outdoor terrace in the heart of the village, enjoying lunch or dinner in the fresh mountain air.
Breakfast, served until late in the morning, features local specialities and freshly prepared warm dishes.

Wellness with mountain views

The rooftop offers a panoramic sauna and hot tub with views of the Hochkönig mountains. Inside, the wellbeing room provides soothing treatments, including a sound-bowl facial that deeply relaxes both body and mind.

Why travellers come here

The surrounding nature is one of its greatest strengths: from the doorstep, you can walk straight into the landscape. Trails wind through forests and across alpine meadows, past mountain streams and towards authentic huts where time seems to stand still. The impressive Mandlwand provides a striking backdrop, especially in the soft morning or evening light.

It’s this blend of personality, quality and nature that makes Stieg’nhaus so special: a charming place where there is all the space you need to explore and unwind.
