Away from the slopes
Children’s area, adventure slopes, magic carpet … One thing’s for sure: It’s virtually impossible for families to get bored in the Sun Ski World. Especially the youngest winter sports athletes often want to spend all day on the slopes.
However, winter in the Carinthian mountains has so much more to offer than “just” skiing. Don’t miss the numerous off-piste family highlights waiting for you in the Outdoor & Relax World!
What families can look forward to away from the slopes:
- 7 toboggan runs, 5 of them flood-lit
- 55 km of winter hiking trails
- horse-drawn carriage rides
- trekking with llamas
- 7 km² of natural ice on Lake Weissensee & Lake Presseggersee
Our tip: There are also plenty of great options for spending a day away from the snow – for instance, relaxing and splashing about at the region’s indoor swimming pools and spa areas!
Sledging in the Carinthian mountains
Sledging is one of the most fun ways to spend some family time in the snow. After all, swooshing down the mountain on a sledge makes everyone whoop with joy. Sunshine, snow and family fun – this unrivalled combination makes sledging a perfect holiday activity for guests of all ages. Stroll up to the mountain together with your loved ones, hop on a sledge – and off you go!
