Look forward to action-packed speed runs with permanent speed measurement, creative fun slopes with moguls, snow tunnels, and banked turns, as well as lovingly designed children's areas specifically for young winter sports enthusiasts. The XXL Funslope Hauser Kaibling, at 1,460 meters in length, is one of the longest in Austria, while in the Gallic Ski Village at Galsterberg, talking figures accompany the children. Away from the slopes, special experiences await: When "Zipfelbob" sledding at the Drachenlift, guests of all ages whiz safely down into the valley (rental is free of charge with the WinterCard). Guided alpaca hikes through snow-covered landscapes offer peaceful nature experiences for the whole family. From the Planai Sound Slope, where you carve to your favorite song, to the Hobsi Winter Kinderland with its fairy tale meadow – the region offers winter experiences for every taste and skill level.
When the toboggan run calls, every child's heart beats faster! From cozy sledding fun starting directly at Berggasthof Hunerkogel to Austria's longest natural toboggan runs, the region offers everything that delights families. The nearly 7-kilometer-long Hochwurzen toboggan run is one of the longest in the Alps and also offers evening operation for atmospheric rides in the dark. It becomes particularly magical during night tobogganing at Rittisberg (only 7 km from the Berggasthof): the 3.5-kilometer-long, floodlit track leads from 1,500 meters down into the valley, with 120 toboggans available for rent. Snow tubing at the Rösteralm provides extra thrills with cushioned tubes—speed, spins, and plenty of fun for everyone! Toboggan rental directly at the Berggasthof makes getting started easy—you can head out spontaneously without needing your own sled.
When the ice surfaces glisten invitingly, a very special kind of winter magic begins. Whether it's the first shaky steps of the little ones, laps together with the whole family, or relaxed hours on the ice – the region's ice rinks offer a laid-back alternative to skiing. The "Eiszauber" ice rink in Ramsau (only nine kilometers away) offers free skating for children up to six years old. There is a cozy hut with warm drinks and snacks. The Schladming ice rink features a 200-meter-long artificial ice track with an additional loop, providing plenty of space for family laps together. Skate rentals and skating aids are available on-site, so you can hit the ice spontaneously even without your own equipment. A wonderful addition for relaxed winter afternoons with the family.
Wrapped in warm blankets, you glide through the snow-covered winter landscape, with only the gentle snorting of the horses and the crunching of the snow to be heard. Horse-drawn sleigh rides in Ramsau slow down the pace of your family holiday and create moments of true tranquility. The calm tempo and proximity to the animals make the experience enjoyable even for younger children. Several regional providers in Ramsau offer individual round trips or longer tours with stops for refreshments, such as: Horse-drawn sleigh rides Zeiserhof, Mooshäusl (Schildlehen near Berggasthof Hunerkogel), Ederhof, Reiterparadies Zechmannhof, or Reiterhof Brandstätter. Depending on the provider, atmospheric evening rides under the starry sky are also possible. After the ride, a short winter walk along the Birnberger Sonnenweg or a small tobogganing session is the perfect way to end a winter day together.
