Maiskogel children’s hike

If you don’t want it to be too strenuous with the kids or you only want to spend a few hours on the mountain, the Maiskogel is a good choice:

Baby carriage & toddler friendly
Discovery forest next to the forest path
Not too steep and not too far

We like to take the cable car to the mountain station (included in the Zell am See-Kaprun Summer Card ). From there we hike comfortably on the relatively flat path to the Unterbergalm (open until the beginning of September).

The path leads through a forest where there is always something to discover to the left and right. Adults will probably need 15 minutes, with small children it can take longer …

At the Unterbergalm you can enjoy a delicious buttermilk and the alpine classics cheese and bacon bread as well as a Brettljausn, all homemade! The Alm itself is quite rustic, but very child-friendly, with a sandpit and toys. And the view is really great! 😍⛰️☀️

And depending on the season, you may also find a few cranberries (wild blueberries) in the forest on the way back, for a nice blue tongue 😜🫐

If you are not yet exhausted and without a baby carriage, you can start the
Maiskogel hut circuit
and walk back via the Glocknerblickhütte.

Have fun!

Infinity lake with

Sigmund Thun Gorge Gorge Lake

The Klammsee, a world of its own at any time of year … and not far from the Dorfchalets and Kaprun. Just take the road in the direction of the Kitzsteinhorn, but it’s best to walk through the beautiful Sigmund Thun Gorge first (free of charge with the summer card) … takes about 20 minutes and is no problem even for children from about 4 years of age, a carrier is recommended for small children.

Berry & mushroom season

Every year, around the beginning of August, it starts … depending on the weather, the chanterelles, porcini mushrooms and cranberries (blueberries) sprout from the ground. It must be something like a primal urge, because it’s so much fun looking for mushrooms and berries.
