Family offers/child-friendly rating Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau
Families and children will feel right at home in the Ski Juwel. A KidsRun and a Funslope offer lots of variety and fun for the whole family. Children's areas, childcare services and several practice lifts are distributed throughout the ski resort. The children's area is an ideal place for kids to take their first steps in the snow, before progressing to the practice lifts and finally the other lifts. The Schatzberg Zwergenland (Dwarfland) is particularly recommended. The Zwergenland area at the middle station of the Schatzbergbahn lift is ideal for first attempts on skis, for improving or playing in the snow.
The Wildschönau is also home to the 5-kilometre Schatzberg toboggan run from the middle station to Auffach. The “Alpbachtaler Lauser-Sauser”, a year-round Alpine coaster, starts directly at the mountain station of the Wiedersbergerhornbahn lift.
