Summertime on the Schmittenhöhe

Dragon-tastic and adventurous – that’s what best describes Schmidolin’s Adventure World. The Schmitten dragon provides fun, games and action for kids up on the mountain. From the Dragon Fire to the Dragon Cave to the Fire Castle and on to the Baptism of Fire trail with the whole family. Maybe your little ones can muster up enough courage for the Rocket Bike, too? 

Tip for even more holiday joy: Kids from six to twelve can become members of the Schmidolin Club for free!  

What else makes the Schmittenhöhe THE family mountain of the Pinzgau? Find out more about the diverse family hikes for an unforgettable summer holiday! 

For lovers of nature and culture, the Schmitten’s “Art on the Mountain” project is well worth a visit! This special project shows that Zell’s landmark mountain certainly deserves its title of “Austria’s first art and culture mountain”. The 4 Lakes Art Hike proves this once again: It’s an inspiring and creative trail where you and your loved ones can discover a number of artistic treasures …

Go full throttle while on summer holiday in Zell am See-Kaprun! How about on a Freeride e-motocross bike by KTM? Five of these bikes are waiting for action-hungry daredevils at the E-Motocross Park in immediate vicinity of the areitXpress mountain station.

The park provides a challenge for motocross fans of all ages and all levels of skill – thanks to its different tracks and age-appropriate packages. 

You’ve always dreamt of being able to fly? Let this dream come true on the “sun child” of the Alps! The great thermal uplift makes Zell’s landmark mountain a perfect launching site for paragliders and hang-gliders.

And if you can’t fly yourself, you can take off by way of a tandem flight with one of the Schmitten’s certified pilots. Seize this unique opportunity to see the Pinzgau’s alpine landscape from above. 

Even on the “sun child” of the Alps, the sun doesn’t shine every single day! You’d like to experience the mountains on rainy days too? That’s possible during a breakfast at the AreitLounge or coffee and cake at Franzl, for instance. The “Areit 1400” family exposition with its Games Corner is another great option for bad weather days on the mountain.
