Mountain adventure worlds and child-friendly daytrip destinations

The adventure worlds of the Kitzbühel Alps and daytrip destinations in the Holiday Region Hohe Salve ensure that children can discover nature playfully. Be it right on the mountain or in the valley, the adventure playgrounds can all be combined with a little hike or a walk. That way, your children will have a rewarding destination to look forward to and will enjoy the hike all the more. The Buchacker ice and stalactite cave is suitable only for older children and teenagers, as the climb up to the cave takes around 1.5 to 2 hours.

Planning made easy

This way, your hiking holidays with children will become an unforgettable experience

Hiking with children should be well-planned. Because that’s the only way to ensure that the mountain adventure is equally enjoyable for both children and parents. The fun of discovering and moving about should be the top priority for the children. But ahead of every hike, it’s also important to think about safety and tour planning. Below you will find a clear check-list as well as some useful tips for your family hiking holidays. For a detailed description about hiking preparation, simply read the bärig.tirol blog on this subject or click on the links.

Useful tips for your hiking holidays with the whole family

  • Of particular importance when hiking with children is selecting a suitable hiking route. Base your choice on your children’s age, the current weather conditions and their mood on any given day. Don’t expect too much from the darlings and start off with short hikes to get them used to this wonderful pursuit.

  • Variety guarantees that your children won’t lose their joy of hiking. Visit a mountain adventure world for a change, take a trip on a gondola lift or hike through a forest. You’ll see, with a varied selection of tours, you can discover the Kitzbühel Alps from all their sides.

  • Hiking is definitely not boring, and can even be great fun. Show your children what there is to discover by the wayside, tempt them with special destinations (a mountain lake, a waterfall or an Alpine lodge with a playground) or make walking itself a game. There is no limit to your creativity.

  • There may be a saying that goes “Those who rest, rust”, but this is definitely not the case when hiking. Allow yourself and your children frequent short breaks. Carry enough provisions and absolutely ensure that everyone drinks enough. Especially on hot summer days, rest periods in the shade are indispensable. And one thing is certain: After your break, everyone will set off refreshed and motivated again.

  • Make sure that you have the proper gear with you for yourself and your children. Pay special attention to sturdy footwear, and dress according to the weather. A first-aid kit, sunblock, a fully charged mobile phone, enough to drink, provisions and a hiking map are all indispensable. Depending on the children’s age, you may also want to take toys, diaper bag and so on.

    Tip: Child stretchers can also be hired directly on site, e.g. at the Intersport Oberhauser in Hopfgarten.

  • You want to use the cable cars of the region with your children and explore the mountain adventure worlds. Then you can decide either on a single trip or a Combo-Ticket. Simply weigh up how often and which lifts you want to take and choose the ticket that suits your requirements. If you want to explore all mountain adventure worlds of the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser - Brixental, then the cable car adventure card is your ticket. For even more lifts and gondola lifts, choose the Kitzbühel Alps Summer Card, and if you plan a tour up to the Hohe Salve, a single trip ticket is enough.
