Nature Playground
At Pepis Kinderland on the Penkenjoch, young adventure seekers will find a giant trampoline, a climbing garden, a swing paradise, and an 8-meter-tall wooden Pepi. Inside the cute giant bear, a three-story playhouse with a climbing wall and a funhouse mirror awaits young explorers. The particularly brave can also venture onto the two towers: 7 meters above the ground, you move between the towers on suspension bridges to a 15-meter-long slide, where you then race back down—heart-pounding excitement is guaranteed!
The Eggalm "Almspielerei" playground is also perfect for young mountain enthusiasts. The adventure playground in the Eggalm hiking area at 1,950 m invites even the youngest visitors with various play stations: they can look forward to a large water pond with a rowboat, a slackline, and an exciting hiking rally.
TUX Worlds
Hiking becomes a real adventure when exciting challenges await young explorers. The TUX Worlds—six themed trails in the beautiful Tux Valley—invite children to explore the Alpine landscape in a playful way. On the Glacier Flea Safari, they must solve tricky puzzles, and on the Ball Safari, they have to guide small wooden balls to the finish line. In the Glacier World, tubing and snowball fights in the middle of summer provide plenty of fun. The Nature, Animal, Plant, Gorge, and Water Worlds also offer numerous adventures. New to the program: the mountain marble runs along the Tuxbach Adventure Trail, where wooden marbles whiz through exciting tracks—great fun for explorers of all ages amidst the alpine wilderness.
The Alpenhof – the family-friendly hotel in the Zillertal
Our experienced hotel team understands the unique needs of guests of all ages and does everything possible to fulfill your wishes promptly and effortlessly. While the adults enjoy a massage, relax in the sauna, or indulge in a professional beauty treatment, the children set off on little adventures: After playing in the crisp mountain air in the Alpine garden, a refreshing dip in the indoor pool is just the thing. Fit and full of energy, they head to the sports hall, the teen lounge, or the children’s playroom. Making friends is easy here, as playmates are everywhere at the Alpenhof. A lovely family activity is the 45-minute hike to the Bichlalm: once at the top, goats, sheep, and bunnies are happy to be petted by hikers of all ages.
