Mountain region finder for families: insider tip for your vacation in the mountains!
Not all mountains are the same, especially when it comes to family vacations. The Alps are full of hidden gems that perfectly combine enjoyment, exercise, adventure and relaxation. Here we would like to introduce you to the most beautiful of these places, where you can experience unique family moments surrounded by nature and a spectacular mountain panorama. Because one thing is certain: a mountain vacation is anything but boring!
Schladming-Dachstein
Here you can find just the right mountain adventures in spring and summer for kindergarten and school children. On the Planai you can go to the hiking paradise for kids. Climbing, ball tracks and water games let the little children’s feet run almost by themselves. If you like it quieter, you can go to the nature and environmental experience trail on the Sattelberg, where a real Genussalm awaits you at the end. Then it goes in the Sausewind with the Mountain-Gokarts from the Hochwurzen into the valley. Want inspiration? Then take a look here.
Golm in Montafon
The Golm im Montafon is the mountain that can do everything, for small and large kids. A chameleon, so to speak, that offers families what they need right now. Relaxed hiking trails, an exciting slide park, a fabulous summer toboggan run and the forest climbing park. In winter, the Golm turns into a snow paradise and is completely sustainably operated with specially produced green electricity. For our kids, the Golm is a mountain highlight par excellence.
East Tyrol
In times when seclusion is considered a luxury and families long for deceleration, East Tyrol is the ideal destination. Here, the true meaning of time together in the midst of real nature becomes clear again. Between Carinthia, Salzburg and South Tyrol, south of the main Alpine ridge, there is an unused natural landscape. This region offers numerous opportunities to discover nature and meet the needs of all family members. Gigantic heights, deep gorges, dense forests, crystal clear lakes and idyllic mountain villages offer authentic adventures. These experiences in harmony with nature leave lasting impressions and unforgettable family moments – the most beautiful souvenir.
Gastein
The Gastein Valley differs significantly from other mountain regions in Austria. The focus here is not only on mountain sports, but also on art and customs. The valley can only be reached via a tunnel, and as soon as you have passed it, the unique charm of the region unfolds. Experience the nostalgic Bad Gastein with its retro vibes, the hip Bad Hofgastein and the original Dorfgastein. The mountain world around the villages offers numerous highlights: from alpine hills and hikes to thermal springs to ski resorts. A bit of everything – that’s exactly what inspires parents and children alike. Here you will find all tips and favorite places for Gastein with children.
