Katschberg With Children: Top Family & Children Activities


If you’re dreaming of a summer holiday with children that’s full of fresh air, excitement, and unforgettable moments, Katschberg is a fantastic place to start. Nestled between Carinthia and Salzburg, this alpine destination blends natural beauty with family-friendly adventure.

One of the top highlights for families is the Adventure Park Katschberg. This ropes course park features multiple levels of difficulty, so whether your child is a cautious climber or a fearless explorer, there’s a route for everyone. Watching your little one master a zipline surrounded by mountain views is an experience you won’t forget.

Just a short walk away, Children’s Adventure World Katschhausen brings fairy tales to life with a creative, themed adventure trail. Here, kids can splash through water games, solve fun puzzles, and meet quirky animal characters along the way. It’s a perfect mix of play and exploration that sparks their imagination while you enjoy a leisurely hike through the alpine scenery.

For something calmer, try the pony rides, which are especially loved by younger children. Families can also enjoy easy hiking and themed trails around Aineck mountain, where you’ll find panoramic viewpoints, forest paths, and picnic spots ideal for a relaxing afternoon outdoors.

Katschberg isn’t just about keeping kids entertained—it’s about creating shared experiences in a breathtaking setting. Whether you’re navigating a treetop course together or laughing through a muddy stream on the trail, Katschberg turns quality time into mountain magic.
