Hiking on a family vacation in Gastein
You spend with your children the family vacation or short vacation in Gastein? We adjust the demands to your needs and all family members. With children, the experience is usually in the foreground. In addition, the hikes should not be too long and not too strenuous. Perhaps you also have a very small family member who comes along in a stroller? Here in Gastein there are numerous hiking routes for a child-friendly hike.
There are also plenty of hiking trails in the vacation region that are suitable for strollers, and the most suitable ones here are boardwalks and forest roads that are not too steep. You will find these throughout the Gastein Valley, for example in Sportgastein, in the Kötschachtal, at the circular hiking trail at the Gasteiner Achenpromenade or the Gasteiner Höhenweg.
Fun and adventure with your children

Discover the adventure mountains of Gastein
The Fulseck in Dorfgastein, the Schlossalm in Bad Hofgastein, the Stubnerkogel and the Graukogel in Bad Gastein also offer our younger guests a unique and varied range of activities. The four adventure mountains are accessible by cable cars in summer.
Fulseck - adventure and summit happiness
Along the idyllic mirror lake hides a very special experience: Here you can feel different undergrounds with your feet on the barefoot path and enjoy nature in the most sensitive way. In addition to the barefoot adventure, the little ones can also let off steam by climbing, jumping and exploring at the adventurous forest playground .
The Schlossalm - A mountain with experience guarantee!
At the Schlossalm, sporty mountain enthusiasts will find seven different via ferrata routes at all levels of difficulty. Before going on rock and stone, you can strengthen your balance and strength in the slackline park, as well as in the motor skills park .
Adventure seekers can let off steam at the adventure playground with its 15-meter slide, bouncy cushion, net swing and much more. And those who want to go on a voyage of discovery can hike along the rock path and look for mysterious rock creatures.
The Stubnerkogel - look and trust
Suspension bridge, rock path and the viewing platforms "Glocknerblick" and "Talblick" - on the summit circular hiking trail around the mountain station one experience follows the other. The incomparable view of the mountain world of the Hohe Tauern makes you feel like a little king! Even Austria's highest mountain, the Großglockner, can be seen in the summit chain.
The Graukogel - pine magic is good for the heart
The Swiss stone pine forest on the Graukogel can best be discovered on the circular path in the immediate vicinity of the mountain station. This leads through a particularly beautiful, up to three hundred year old Swiss stone pine forest. In addition to the romantic spots with fantastic views, there is also Erwin the stone pine spirit, various stone pine swings and a stone pine canopy bed for the little ones to discover.
Motivation to continue hiking
The Gasteiner Wandernadel serves all hiking-enthusiastic parents as motivation for their children - An award for diligent explorers as an incentive! For each hike there is a certain number of points depending on the difficulty. Collecting points for the Gastein Hiking Pin is really fun for everyone.
You don't have to reach the points for each pin all at once, the validity of the points is unlimited, which means just come back and keep stamping!
The Gastein Hiking Pin is now also available in digital form with the SummitLynx App.
