The Hochkönig is a mountain group containing the highest mountain in the Berchtesgaden Alps, Salzburgerland, Austria.
It lies to the west of the town of Bischofshofen in the Austrian state of Salzburg, Hochkönig is separated from the rest of the Berchtesgaden Alps, and more specifically from the Steinernes Meer by the mountain pass Torscharte. The summit itself is at the southern edge of a large limestone plateau, which is covered by glacier known as the "Übergossene Alm" however this glacier is currently shrinking per year, and is likely to vanish in the relatively near future.
