Easy hiking trails
Especially in the valley and in the area of the Mountain Adventure Worlds, there are a large number of family-friendly and easy hiking trails, some of which are also very easy to navigate with prams. Many tours can be combined with lifts of the Wilder Kaiser-Brixental cable cars.
The tour recommendations listed here are based on the current weather conditions.
However, we would like to point out that the weather and therefore the conditions can change quickly and that every tour is undertaken at your own risk.
