Kids in the Mountains: Ratschings' Best Family-Friendly Adventures
Keeping kids happy on a family holiday is an art form in itself. Ratschings makes it easy for parents: between hut hikes, a children's via ferrata, and guided family tours organized directly by the hotel, there's so much to discover that boredom never really gets a chance.
The RACI Children's Via Ferrata: First Climbing Experiences
For young adventurers wanting to take on the rock, the RACI children's via ferrata was designed just for them. In a safe setting and with the right equipment (harnesses are available for rent at rent & go from 40 kg body weight), kids can gain their first climbing experiences here — an unforgettable moment for kids of all ages.
Guided Tours That Work Well for Families Too
Anyone who'd rather leave the planning to someone else will find the guided hikes organized by our hotel a great way to get the whole family moving. That leaves parents time to enjoy a tour at their own pace, while kids experience their own adventure under expert guidance — ask at reception for the exact details.
Family-Friendly Hikes
Not every hike needs to be a sporting challenge. Hut hikes with playgrounds at the destination, short paths to babbling streams, or tours with marmot sightings along the way keep even younger children motivated. Find more ideas in our post on family hikes to alpine huts.
Water and Cooling Off
On warm days, the Gilfenklamm gorge is a favorite destination for families — the cool canyon delights kids with rushing water and an extra dose of adventure.
Cuisine for the Little Ones
Dining is thought through for the little ones too: kids' dishes like spinach spätzle with cream and ham, or sausages with fries, are regularly on the menu at the hotels — making dinner a relaxed experience for the whole family.
The Right Accommodation for Families
For families, the Wellness Sporthotel with its lovely family rooms, or the Ferienhaus Daniel, which combines independent living with the perks of the larger hotels, are especially well suited. More on this in our overview of the hotels of Ratschings.
A Tip for Relaxed Parents
Plan your holiday with a mix of activity and downtime — an active morning with a hike or via ferrata, followed by a relaxed afternoon by the pool, works best for most families.
