Neukirchen am Großvenediger — family holidays at the Wildkogel
Neukirchen am Großvenediger is Upper Pinzgau's family destination. In winter the Wildkogel-Arena scores with the world's longest illuminated toboggan run (14 km from the top station to the valley) and a ski area that serves beginners and advanced skiers alike.
In summer the Wildkogel becomes a hiking stage with panoramic views of the Großvenediger. The national park starts right at the edge of the village — valley-end hikes into the Obersulzbach valley are a classic for all ages.
Vacation rentals in Neukirchen range from simple farm apartments to modern chalets. If you're looking for a family ski holiday with valley-floor comfort, this is a better fit than Krimml.
Neukirchen am Großvenediger in winter is a base for the Wildkogel-Arena — the ski area is accessed from both Neukirchen and the neighbouring village of Bramberg, with 75 km of slopes and views across the Hohe Tauern. The village itself is lively, with a ski school and infrastructure right in the valley.
People looking for a vacation rental in Neukirchen in winter usually come for one of these activities: skiing in the Wildkogel-Arena (base station at the edge of the village), tobogganing on the 14 km Smaragd run (one of the longest illuminated toboggan runs in Europe), cross-country skiing on the trails in the Sulzau valley, or snowshoe hiking around the ski area.
Our recommendation: late winter (February/March) offers the best mix of reliable snow and longer days. Ambitious ski tours on the Großvenediger or in the Sulzbach valleys are high-alpine undertakings for experienced ski tourers with a local guide — not beginner terrain.

What we like
The cleanest, best-rated listing directly in Neukirchen with a solid review history. Good infrastructure for families, with the Wildkogel ski area within walking or driving distance.
Things to know
Grill only on loan. Listing primarily in English — suggests an international management. A bit further from the village centre.
