Skiing and snowboarding in Tyrol
The ski resorts around Kitzbühel offer ideal conditions for your winter holiday in Austria with children. In particular, the multi-award winning KitzSki area boasts 233 kilometres of slopes suitable for beginners and experts alike. There are free practice lifts for children and beginners, while advanced skiers can enjoy challenging runs. The ski schools offer the ideal opportunity to learn your first turns under the supervision of experienced instructors who specialise in children's needs.
Pure action - freeride and fun parks
For those looking for an adrenaline rush, there are plenty of freeride runs and fun parks in the region to satisfy winter sports enthusiasts of all ages. The KitzSki Fun Park offers fun and sporting challenges with a wave run, kicker line, speed measuring track and much more. At SnowX on the Kitzbüheler Horn, the whole family can enjoy action-packed snowmobile rides. For the really brave kids, there's the Mini-Streif, a mini version of the Kitzbühel 'Streif' ski slope, world-famous for the legendary Hahnenkamm race.
Cross-country skiing - a true nature experience
Discover the snow-covered Tyrolean countryside on cross-country skis with your children. The 70 kilometres of groomed trails around Kitzbühel offer routes for beginners and advanced skiers. For families with younger children there are flat, easily accessible circular trails, while sporty teenagers can enjoy longer tours through the alpine countryside. Cross-country skiing is not only a great workout, but also an experience that brings you closer to the beauty of the region. If you want to make the most of the peace and quiet as a couple, your children will find a varied daily programme in our supervised Kidskitz Lodge.
Tobogganing - fun for young and old
Tobogganing is an essential part of a winter holiday with children in Austria. Tobogganing has no age limit and is one of the most popular family activities. Tyrol is a paradise for tobogganing, with the world's longest floodlit toboggan run at Bramberg am Wildkogel, about half an hour's drive from the Grand Tirolia, offering 14 kilometres of pure downhill fun. Alternatively, there are shorter, gentler toboggan runs for younger children or the option of night tobogganing for a winter evening experience.
Snowshoe and Torchlight Hikes
Experience the magic of Austria's snow-covered winter landscape with your children on a snowshoe hike or an exciting torchlight walk in Kitzbühel - a great alternative to fast-paced downhill skiing and ideal for families who want to discover nature in all its beauty and tranquillity. The special atmosphere in the evening is a unique experience, especially for older children and teenagers, and promises a sense of adventure and a cosy end to the day.
Ice skating - indoors or on the lake
Whether indoors, whatever the weather, or on the frozen Schwarzsee lake, ice skating is an experience for the whole family at any time during your winter holiday in Austria with children. While the little ones take their first steps on the ice with mum and dad, the older children and teenagers can skate elegant or fast laps. A special highlight is our hotel's own swimming pond, which is transformed into a skating rink in winter, allowing you to skate right in front of the Grand Tirolia.
