    The family and adventure mountain in Bad Hofgastein

    Here you can hike scenic circular trails around Schlossalmsee, look for the rock creatures, and tackle a variety of via ferratas. For children, there is a playground close to the mountain station. It comes with a large bouncy pillow, a guerilla slide, a crawl tunnel, and much more.

    At 2,050 m above sea level, a great slackline course has been created for children and adults. Slacklining is similar to tightrope walking and requires a mix of concentration, coordination, and balance. Along the circular trails around Schlossalmsee, there is something surprising to discover: animal rock creatures. If you hike with your eyes open and look closely, you may spot one of the silhouettes hidden in nature in the shape of a rock animal, such as an eagle or a shark.

    If you like sports, you can choose from various via ferratas. There are now 6 via ferratas of all difficulty levels on the Schlossalm. Beginners who do not yet feel confident on real via ferratas can train on the practice via ferrata. You can also test or improve your skills on guided via ferrata tours offered by the alpine school. In addition, climbing enthusiasts can really let off steam at the climbing garden.
