Exciting Family Holidays in Mittersill for all Ages

Game, fun, and adventure in the Wildkogel Arena

Boredom has no chance for survival on a family holiday in Mittersill, especially in the Wildkogel Arena, which is about 20 minutes by car from Schloss Mittersill. It offers varied activities for all ages--from kindergarten children to schoolchildren to teenagers, and even mom and dad will quickly succumb to the special charm of this family holiday region.

Panorama Path (“Panoramaweg”) & Slides Path (“Rutschenweg”)

In the summer of 2018, the new Panoramaweg will open its doors. The comfortable trail will lead you from the mountain station of the Wildkogel cable car to the middle station in about 1.5 hours. You will also receive the classic treat when spending your holiday in the province Salzburg: a wonderful view of the 3,000m high Hohe Tauern mountains and the Großvenediger, Salzburg's highest peak. Upon arriving at the middle station, the new slide path with ten stainless steel slides awaits to delight active kids. They take on the form of waves, go through tubes, and even have some freefall sections. Thereafter you can take a half-hour hiking trail or the hiking shuttle back to the start of this unique attraction for your family holiday in Mittersill.

Abenteuer-Arena Kogel-Mogel

The eventful wooden playground next to the cable car Wildkogel’s mountain station should not be amiss on a family holiday in Mittersill. Several phases await young adventurers and daring balance artists. A large course with jumping plates and balancing beams, the mighty summit wave, the enormous eagle's nest, and much more invite you to enjoy lots of fun and entertainment.

On the new Venedigerweg, children and parents will experience the scenic beauty of the Wildkogel Arena in the valley Obersulzbachtal and enjoy the family holiday in Mittersill to the fullest.

Lakes

On hot days, it will be incredibly refreshing to cool off a bit. In the immediate vicinity of the castle there are three beautifully situated bathing lakes awaiting guests with excellent water quality, pleasant temperatures and large lawns: in Uttendorf, Hollersbach and Niedernsill.

Playgrounds

The family holiday in Mittersill should of course be an adventure and exciting for all ages. Our little guests will love the playgrounds in our holiday region. There are many highlights that await active children on the Wildkogel and the Resterhöhe mountains, but there is also a fun playground right in Mittersill.

Wildlife Park Aurach

In half an hour's drive from the castle you will find yourself right in the middle of one of the most beautiful zoos in Tyrol. Experience wildlife close up in the wildlife park Aurach! Fallow deer, red deer, mouflon, lynxes, yaks, and many other animals frolic in the huge outdoor enclosure. There is a lot to see during the daily wildlife show feeding at 2:30pm. The little ones will be particularly amazed when they see the petting zoo’s llamas, sheep, guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, donkeys, and Shetland ponies.

Castle Holiday

We love the feeling when a long-awaited holiday - and therefore the time to relax and enjoy - finally begins. Our castle, its gardens and the surrounding area offer many great opportunities to do just that.
