The Glacier Flea Park at an altitude of 3,250 m – summer skiing for kids

Together with Luis, the glacier flea, young discoverers will go on an unforgettable adventure at the Glacier Flea Park at an altitude of 3,250 metres.

Fun and games in the mountains: The Flea Park on Sommerbergalm pasture

The family playground at an altitude of 2,100 m offers plenty of action, while a visit to the Flea Park is also a popular choice after skiing - a great way to burn off energy for everyone! Young glacier fans may conquer the fully secured climbing wall, buzz around on the go-kart tracks, jump on the bouncy castle or swish down the giant slide. While the kids are letting off steam, the parents can relax on the sun terrace of Sommerbergalm pasture.

If summer skiing is not enough to satisfy your mountain cravings, try exploring the Tux mountain range on foot, by bicycle or while engaging in one of many activities on offer in the region, for instance rafting.
