Family holiday in Wildschönau - Tyrol

A family holiday in the Wildschönau offers pure enjoyment in the heart of nature.

In the Wildschönau in Tyrol we concentrate on making the most of our beautiful natural ressources. Instead of ready made playgrounds we introduce your kids to a fascinating natural world in the heart of the Alps.

Legend says that the Wildschönau Valley was once a lake, where a fearful dragon lived. A courageous peasant slew the dragon and in its death throes it bit a gorge through the mountains to Kundl in the Inn Valley and the lake emptied into the river Inn.

Nowadays the dragon is represented in our coat of arms and of course our children's programme. The Wildschönau Dragon Club offers a varied programme for kids between 5 and 14, from Monday to Friday from 8.45am to 3pm. We go to the silver mine in Thierbach on the Wildschönau's little train, panning for gold on the Schatzberg mountain, take a buggy ride, make butter on a farm or bread at the farmer's museum, have a crazy golf contest or a barbecue on our own camp fire.  The supervision is free but a small charge will be made for  entrance fees and bus fares.

The Wildschönau in Tyrol is well known as a fair price region especially for families. You can book in a bed & breakfast, on a farm, in an appartment or a hotel all at a surprisingly reasonable price. A holiday in the beautiful Wildschönau is both relaxing and exciting, and families are  particularly welcome.

You can of course explore the Wildschönau on your own. Walking, riding, fishing, tennis or swimming are all on offer as well as rafting or paragliding and canyoning for the more adventurous. The Treetop Rope Garden is new this year,where even children (from 1.40cm height) can join in.

The Wildschönau Card is an all inclusive activity card. For just € 75 per family, you can use almost all the leisure facilities in the Valley; the open air pool, lifts, tennis courts, guided walks programme and entrance to the museum as well as the children's programme are included.
