Salzburg region with kids

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:58:00 +0200

The southern and south-eastern Salzburg region is great for an active holiday with kids. Mountains reachable by cable car, lots of playgrounds, water parks, marble runs, gorges and the city of Salzburg itself!

The area is divided by the individual valleys and by how the mountain resorts are grouped together.

There are three large parts. The Gastein valley, Hochkönig and the area grouped under Snowspace (around Wagrain). Then there are individual resorts such as Zauchersee, Rauris or Filzmoos.

Salzburgerland Card

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:57:39 +0200

You can buy the Salzburgerland Card online for 6 or 12 days.

The website looks a bit odd, so much so that I was worried whether it was real, but my fears were unfounded. You can find more about purchasing and the prices here.

You can buy it at any time; it becomes valid on first use. It arrives by email. It can be printed. I recommend saving it to your phones, though. Ideally among the cards in Google Wallet or Apple Pay.

Salzburg

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:57:28 +0200

Salzburg is a beautiful city whose historic centre is not too big, so you can easily visit it with kids.

It offers many attractions, so you need to choose carefully.

On the way to the mountains we already stopped at the Salzburg zoo. It is fairly small but has extensive enclosures for the animals, so they can be hard to spot. At first we were disappointed, because in the midday heat all the animals were hiding and we did not see a single one in the first five enclosures.

Bad Hofgastein Mauskarkopf

A more demanding hike with 316 m of elevation gain. A short section is secured with ropes.

Bad Hofgastein Turchlwand

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:54:00 +0200

Given the elevation gain and length, this hike is better suited to older children. A beautiful alpine hike rewarded with views from the summit.

Dorfgastein Bee Trail

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:51:27 +0200

On this trail you will learn lots of interesting facts about bees. It is worth combining with the Nature Experience Trail.

A themed walk with dwarf pictures above Bad Gastein. Also suitable for strollers.

Grossarler Sense Path

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:50:53 +0200

A route over the Kreuzkogel to the Harbachhutte, near which there are several installations dedicated to the individual elements.

The most engaging stop was the one where you identify various herbs and spices by smell. The mushroom-shaped toilet was good fun.

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:50:37 +0200

Who doesn’t love mushroom picking? Learn something about mushrooms on the way down from the Fulseck summit to the cable car’s middle station. From the Arltorl saddle you need to head left.

St.Johann Liechtensteinklamm

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:45:10 +0200

Zauchensee Gipfeltour

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:44:41 +0200

While adults can do the 4-peaks route above Zauchensee, the local mascot Zauchi has prepared just two peaks for the kids.

If they complete this hike and punch their summit card with the pliers, a reward awaits them at the bottom station.

Zauchensee Meistercup der Alpentiere

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:44:23 +0200

A route around the top station of the cable car dedicated to the superpowers of animals. Can you jump like a deer, overcome obstacles like a squirrel, or crawl through a burrow like a marmot?

Depending on their performance the kids get 1-3 points, which they mark on a card with the pliers. Once they complete all the stations, a reward at the bottom station of the cable car is guaranteed.

Filzmoos Moosalm

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:43:25 +0200

A climb of almost 300 m of elevation gain to a proper alpine hut. You can buy things like local milk with blueberries or blueberry cake here.

Although the metres of ascent may seem like a lot, 15 stamps await the kids over 2 kilometres. That’s one almost every 150 metres! The way passes quickly. You can pick up the stamp booklet, which doubles as a colouring book, at the information centre.

Filzmoos Bartl Familienwaderweg

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:42:50 +0200

A relaxed walk from Filzmoos with several stops for children. Also suitable for a stroller.

Filzmoos Moorpfad

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:38:58 +0200

A nicely made nature trail about peat bogs. Don’t forget to pick up the accompanying booklet at the bottom of the cable car.

At each stop you need to answer a question, which gives you a letter for the final puzzle. If you put the word together correctly, the kids get a reward at the bottom of the cable car.

A walk to the middle station of the cable car during which you learn about alpine fauna and flora.

At the Heimalm by the middle station the kids can then collect a reward.

Whatever you walk down you of course have to walk back up, but it is definitely worth it!
