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.

You will find a petting zoo, an enchanted village with a witches' kitchen, a magic tree and more for a magical family day out.
