Astenalms with children’s playground
From the Evian spring we walk along the river for about 30 minutes to the Astenalmen. Once there, a playground with a petting zoo awaits us. After a homemade doughnut we continue our hike until we finally arrive at the thundering waterfall.

Spiegelsee at Fulseck
With the gondola in Dorfgastein we go up to 2033 meters. From there we go downhill until we arrive at the idyllic Spiegelsee in the middle of the Gastein mountains. There is a great adventure playground where children can let off steam in the midst of nature. Another highlight is the barefoot path that leads along the Spiegelsee. After 45 minutes of leisurely walking, you reach the middle station, from where you can take the gondola down to the valley.

In front of the hut there is a small playground with a petting zoo. Every Thursday there is the possibility to bake fresh farmer’s bread at the Amoseralm. With a good snack and so many exciting things to experience, you quickly forget the time.
