Active Vacations with Kids in Austria
Discover Nature


When the weather is beautiful, you can enjoy the natural beauty of the mountains on long hikes. A hiking vacation with the kids is waiting for you! ;) Stroll through lush green meadows, walk along the water, or head up into the mountains. The many mountain huts along the trails provide refreshments along the way. Group hikes—expertly guided and tailored to hikers of all ages—are on the Rosenhof schedule several times a week. Sometimes, much to the children’s delight, Zwärg Bartli even joins the hike. Thanks to baby strollers, even the littlest ones can come along on the hikes. By the way, we offer you numerous included services throughout the summer.
For those looking for a slightly more exciting experience during their summer vacation, the Kleinwalsertal offers climbing opportunities to scale the steep mountain slopes or rappel down into the deep gorges. There are routes for every skill level, including some that are suitable for children. If you’d like to practice with the kids first or simply want some hassle-free climbing fun, you can swing your way up at the nature climbing garden & climbing forest.
The Kleinwalsertal is also a true paradise for mountain bikers. Numerous MTB trails offer plenty of options for both beginners and advanced riders. Cycling enthusiasts will definitely get their money’s worth during their summer vacation in the Kleinwalsertal. If you don’t necessarily want to bring your own bike on your summer vacation, you can easily rent a mountain bike or e-bike at one of the sports shops.

Leave your car behind while on vacation and take a short, comfortable walk to the Walserbus stop. The free bus travels throughout the valley, taking you to tourist attractions and mountain railways. With the Allgäu Walser Pass, you can also take advantage of numerous free offers and discounts in the Kleinwalsertal and throughout the Allgäu.

The Kleinwalsertal and the Allgäu Alps have a lot to offer in winter. There’s plenty to experience and discover here for both adults and children. For example, you can explore the 130-kilometer-long alpine ski slopes on a snowboard or skis. If you’d like to take it a bit easier, you’re sure to be fascinated by the cross-country ski trails in the Kleinwalsertal. When the weather is nice, you can explore the region’s natural beauty—which looks simply wonderful when covered in snow—on the winter hiking trails. The toboggan runs are especially fun for kids. This way, your winter vacation will also be an active one.
Do you prefer a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere or a sprawling, cross-border experience? There are 128 kilometers of slopes to explore in the Kleinwalsertal ski areas. Very close to the Rosenhof lies the small but charming ski area on the Walmendingerhorn. Skiers love the slopes on the Ifen. Between Austria and Germany, ski enthusiasts can hit the slopes in the Kanzelwand-Fellhorn ski area. For a short run down the slopes, the T-bar lifts near the valley are a good choice. Snowboarders gather at the “Crystal Ground Snowpark” near the Kanzelwandbahn valley station in Riezlern or at the Fellhorn Park in the Kanzelwand-Fellhorn ski area.
Cross-country skiers can enjoy themselves on the Kleinwalsertal’s 50-kilometer network of trails. Just 100 meters from the Rosenhof in Kleinwalsertal is the starting point of the 15-kilometer-long Steinbock trail.
For families, the cleared or snow-covered winter hiking trails are a great alternative. Or how about a sledding adventure? Sled right down the Rosenhof uphill path or on one of the six sledding runs in the Kleinwalsertal. At two of the sledding runs, sled lifts make the climb easier. You can rent sleds or baby sleds for free as part of our inclusive services.
