Hiking with the family in Saalbach

The mountains around Saalbach offer endless adventurous possibilities for large and small hikers.

Fun and excitement is at the top of the list when it comes to kids needs. Whether on the adventure mountain Kohlmais where the children's task is to find the clowns laugh on the Montelino's adventure path or on the Kodok mountain on the Reiterkogel where the next adventure is already waiting.

Adventure Mountain Kohlmais

Adventure for the whole family can be found on the Kohlmais mountain: Montelino, the little clown, is a funny companion for children on the way down to the valley with all sorts of tasks for them to solve.

With many lovingly designed stations on Montelino’s adventure path, kids help the clown find his toys and his friends so Montelino can finally get back his laugh. Kids can cool off thoroughly at the water playground before the Montelino trail leads further to the feeding of wild animals.

Kodok Mountain

At the Kodok mountain on the Reiterkogel, the wicked troll has stolen the clown’s hat and she hid it in a secret location.

The little guests should find the hat again and solve the riddle about the goblin.

A circular walk about 3.5 km leads the young hikers to the magical fantasy world of Kobolds Kodok. Along the way, only the smart and the brave succeed at the game stations like “The Sad Rocks”, “The Dark Gorge” or “The Secret Message”. And at the same time you learn the physical laws through play while solving mirror riddles or parabolic communication.

End of the valley

At the end of the valley is a real action paradise: In Schnitza’s Wood Park and at the Devil’s Water, the little ones can really romp around. There’s a “Jump and Slide” Park with an 8-metre high Jump Tower, a “trampoline area”, and a “Freestyle ramp” for cool sessions.

For those who want to feel an adrenaline rush, there’s the dizzying high-rope park and the Europa slide. On the different courses, you can put your balancing skills to a test.

Tree Top Path & Golden Gate Bridge

If you see serious people walking around in Saalbach with very dubious, green pointy hats, these are the proud conquerors of the Tree-Top Trail, the highest-altitude tree-top path in Europe.

This easy hike for the whole family starts at the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps, which spans the entire end of the valley, and leads for about 2 km through pastures, meadows, and forests. Here you can stroll comfortably in dizzy heights and watch the activities in the high rope park.

Motor Skills Path

For a round of sports in the afternoon, the motor skills path along the Saalach River is ideal. You can practice balance, skill and fitness at the 24 stations.

The creative stations with promising names such as spider web, stretching oasis, water ski wall, target fishing, or 3D coordination climb, will keep any boredom away.

Peak playground at the Schattberg

The playground at the Schattberg peak features a whole range of fun elements such as a double cableway, hanging slide, pendulum swing, motor skills station and a ropes jungle promising action and entertainment not just for the kids.

And hammocks and comfy seats cater for those who get tired or just want to hang out.

The ride with the Schattberg X-Press is free of charge with the Joker Card.
