Children love hiking here
The Geisterberg as a huge playground full of nature experiences
Imagine that your adventure begins just a 4-minute walk from the Aktivhotel Alpendorf, with a gondola ride up to the Geisterberg. Even the youngest children can manage this short distance on foot, and once you reach Gspensti and Spuki at the top, no one will care that their little legs were tired – this is where the adventure of a hiking vacation with children begins!
Once at the top, the Geisterbergzug takes the youngest and least enthusiastic hikers from the mountain station to the Geisterberg area, where the journey into a mysterious world begins: little hands grab hold of railings, little eyes light up with every new surprise. Geisterberg is no place for boredom. At over 40 play stations, children can climb, discover, hide, or marvel. On the stroller-friendly path past Geisterberg Castle, Geister Jump Tower, and Geister Village, children learn about nature, animals, and the ancient legends of the Alps in a playful way, while parents can enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains—and perhaps have a few eye-opening experiences of their own.
Ghost figures, hidden climbing spots, and dark caves invite you to have fun and join in. The Alpendorf Geisterberg is a great mix of adventure and safety—parents can relax, children can explore the surroundings and forget about time. This makes "hiking in the Alps" pure pleasure – for everyone.
For families planning a hiking vacation with children, the Aktivhotel Alpendorf, located directly on the Geisterberg, is ideal. Everything is within easy reach, and after a day full of stories, climbing passages, and nature experiences, the children are quickly back at the hotel, where a cozy room, an indoor pool, and family wellness on certain days await them. In the evening, new adventures are planned – perhaps a round of mini golf, climbing in the tree course at Hahnenbaum, or simply playing at the Alpendorf adventure playground, just 150 m away.
