Frequently asked questions about family holidays in the Schladming-Dachstein region
Which excursion highlights are there in the region?
Not only the Dachstein Glacier with its suspension bridge, stairs to nowhere, Ice Palace and Sky Walk is worth a trip. On the Planai, for example, the Hopsiland inspires whole families with climbing elements, swings, slides, a marble run and its own water world. For all those looking for adventure, the Stoderzinken with zipline and adventure park provides exciting moments. The Rittisberg offers countless possibilities for young and old: Coaster, flyline and of course the swimming lake are just a few of them. If you like to glow down the mountain at high speed, the mountain go-kart on the Hochwurzen is the right place for you.
For those who love the natural idyll, the Gassel lakes - especially the Spiegelsee - on the Reiteralm are perfect and the reflection of the impressive Dachstein massif always inspires hikers. Disc golf and the E-Trial course provide variety on the Hauser Kaibling, as well as wonderful hikes such as the Schafsinn-Rundweg. On the Riesneralm there is a summit pool from back then, and on the Planneralm, everyday life is left behind, and not just when it comes to archery. Of course, animal experiences should not be missing: Most of the time, marmots are very shy, but those who want to get very close to the small, furry animals should definitely visit the Galsterberg.
