Excursion tips for families in the Zillertal

With the Fichtenschloss (Zell am Ziller), the Aufenfeld leisure park (Aschau im Zillertal) and the Zillertal adventure dairy (Mayrhofen) as well as numerous mountain playgrounds and hiking opportunities, the large valley offers a perfect family program.

Here are our favorite family adventures in the Zillertal:

PEPI'S KINDERLAND : In addition to the sandpit, bouncy castle and trampoline, a covered playground awaits you in an 8m high wooden Pepi. There is a climbing wall , a distorting mirror and a playhouse.

Two towers have been built behind the giant bear , which can be reached via a suspended net bridge . Walking across the bridges at dizzying heights takes a bit of courage and is just the thing for adventurers big and small. Just under 7 m above the ground, you can quickly slide down from the second tower on a 15 m slide.
