Family Vacation in the Mountains | Austria
Travel with the whole family on a mountain holiday in Saalbach-Hinterglemm and enjoy the mountains, the sun and the beautiful nature with lots of active and fun experiences.
Book nowThe Austrian mountains are not only suitable for skiing in the winter, but are also an absolutely fantastic place for an active mountain holiday in the summer. For us, Austria equals green and lush valleys, absolutely spectacular beautiful mountains and rushing rivers. A true family paradise with lots of fun activities for young and old children. If you are as excited about amazing Austria as we are, come to Saalbach-Hinterglemm on an active mountain holiday and get the ultimate nature experience.
In our mountain holiday to Saalbach-Hinterglemm, we have arranged a wide range of activities during the trip. In addition to that, you also get the area’s so-called “Joker Card“, which gives you access to a sea of fun activities, where you can e.g. can go rafting, climbing, play mini golf, get guided hikes, free access to tennis courts and not least free access with the mountain courses/lifts and much, much more.
We will accommodate you at our super cozy Hotel Pinzgauerhof, where the Danish hotel host Mark and our guide will take good care of you. Besides being perhaps the nicest hotel host, Mark also loves being in the mountains himself and spends most of his free time doing different things.
You can either choose to stay with us for a whole week or half a week – so the trip can well be combined with a trip to southern Europe.
