The Alpbachtal Valley in Austria offers family hikes that are hard to beat. Located in the heart of Tyrol and surrounded by the rugged peaks of the Rofan Mountains and the Kitzbühel Alps’ grassy slopes, this small but beautiful region is a wonderful place to create memories together.
The Alpbachtal Valley has a lot to offer: traditional farms adorned with colourful flowers decorate the valley slopes and rustic alpine pastures serve regional delicacies on your breaks in the mountains. From the unique village Hildegard von Bingen, you smell herbs as you walk whilst butterflies flutter happily around you.
In this Collection, we want to tempt you to lace up your hiking boots, get your family ready and head out into the wonderful nature. No matter how young your kids are or how much exercise you’ve managed to fit in recently, these 11 Tours are sure to make any hiking family happy. The trails are suited to a range of difficulties and you’re guaranteed to be accompanied by magnificent views across the valley and over the impressive mountain scenery.
Discover an adventurous gorge, plunge into the calm waters of a small lake or experience the feeling of reaching the summit on the ascent of the Wiedersbergerhorn and the Gratlspitz. Ambitious families can go on a multi-day Tour and enjoy the fresh air and freedom of the Tyrolean mountains. Two spectacular adventure courses await little explorers too, where they can playfully (and high up on the mountain) explore nature.
Doesn’t that sound like a perfect plan for your upcoming family holiday? We’ve got one more tip – the Alpbachtal Card includes a variety of services such as summer mountain railways, museums, the Regiobus, swimming pools, activity programs and more. Don’t forget it and then get out in the fresh air!
