If you are wondering what the ski resort of Hochkonig is like then PlanetSKI’s senior reporter, Jane Peel, was there in 2025:

PlanetSKI editor, James Cove, plans to be in the area next January as he reports on a City & Ski break taking in Salzburg and a few of its surrounding ski resorts.

James may even take Alois along for some help.
