Hochkönig Card No Longer Included at Landal Maria Alm
In September 2024, we booked a holiday directly through your website at a Landal park in Austria, near Liechtenstein. In December 2024, we were informed that the original park would be affected by renovation works during our planned stay. As a result, and at significant additional cost, we rebooked to Landal Maria Alm.
Today (June 21, 2025), upon arrival at Landal Maria Alm, we were surprised to be informed that the Hochkönig Card is no longer included. This card was included last year and was one of the main reasons we chose to return to this park. As of today, multiple online sources – including the official Hochkönig Card website and various other channels – still state that the card is offered through Landal.
Your staff member Niek at reception informed us that we can pay €175 per person to still access the lifts – which amounts to €700 extra for our group of four. He also acknowledged that we are not the only guests raising this issue, but was unable to offer any solution. Likewise, your customer service is refusing to take responsibility.
We want to make it absolutely clear that we strongly disagree with how this situation has been handled. Landal has failed to fulfill its duty to inform customers. At no point prior to our arrival was it clearly communicated that the Hochkönig Card would no longer be included. Especially for customers booking directly with Landal – as we did – it is reasonable to expect that such essential changes are communicated clearly and in advance. The fact that multiple guests are complaining about the same issue at reception speaks volumes.
If no appropriate solution is offered, we will be forced to share our experience publicly via various review platforms and social media, and to seek legal advice. We are also considering filing a formal complaint with the Dutch Consumers’ Association and the European Consumer Centre (ECC Netherlands).
To anyone planning a stay at Landal GreenParks Maria Alm in the near future – be warned!
