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.
