The family trips in SalzburgerLand are both family-friendly and kid’s buggy friendly
Excursions with children
Children love nature, wildlife and are very keen to discover SalzburgerLand in a playful way. Streams are explored curiously and plants are observed with big eyes. When hiking, walking, climbing and playing in nature, you learn a lot of interesting things.
We have happily put together an excerpt for you of the most beautiful family excursions. We also visit them with our smallest family members and therefore speak from experience. The excursions for families around SalzburgerLand are really worth seeing.
Play, have fun and hike.
