Family hikes in the Alpbachtal
What makes the Alpbachtal so unique? Even the youngest family members can look forward to summit experiences and enjoy the incredible views with the grown-ups.
The 3-day Family Tour takes you over hill and dale through the Alpbachtal. This circular route leads you and your family from Alpbach to the Gratlspitze and on to the Pinzgerhof, where little goats and bunnies are waiting to be fed and petted. The kids can let off steam in the playground while you sit back and sample regional delights. Who knew family holidays could be so relaxing!
Another highlight for the whole family is conquering the Wiedersberger Horn. First you take the Wiedersbergerhornbahn up the mountain before reaching its summit via the family-friendly loop trail. At the top you are rewarded with an impressive view of the Zillertal Alps, the Rofan Range and the Kitzbühel Alps, stretching as far as Innsbruck and Bavaria. This is an outdoor adventure that you will only be too happy to share with the kids.
Good to know: After the hike to the Wiedersberger Horn, a surprise awaits our younger guests just below the top station: Lauserland children’s mountain top adventure playground!

Alpbachtaler Lauser-Sauser
The Lauser-Sauser alpine coaster will have the kids squealing with delight. Starting at an altitude of 1,845 m you whizz down towards the valley at speeds of up to 40 km/h. The two-seater sledges are also suitable for smaller guests who have not yet reached 1.3 m in height. They can be accompanied by adults whilst kids from the age of eight who are tall enough can ride the Lauser-Sauser by themselves.
Good to know: The Lauser-Sauser is in operation both in summer and in the winter months, promising year-round fun for the whole family.
Juppi’s Enchanted Forest on the Reither Kogel
Surrounded by myths and legends, the mystical Enchanted Forest is located behind the three mountains on an inconspicuous hill in an idyllic setting.
It is just the place to inspire little adventurers and, for us adults, easily reached by the Reitherkogelbahn gondola lift. From the top station, a buggy-friendly loop trail leads straight to Juppi’s Enchanted Forest. You will find a petting zoo, an enchanted village with a witches' kitchen, a magic tree and more for a magical family day out.
Tip: Hubsi and his team at Juppi Kid‘s Club provide a varied weekly programme for the whole family. There are exciting activities every day from Monday to Friday in the Alpbachtal, such as a trip to beekeeper Hannes who will tell you all about honey or building a forest marble run with Hubsi and his helpers. And by the way, the Alpbachtal family programme is included in the Alpbachtal Card.
