Where Kids Are Treated Royally
Good Views
Turracher Höhe, located on the border to Styria, boasts special slopes for kids, which are clearly arranged and easy to navigate. Children can cruise down the 300 meter long “Ghost Trail”, a cross-country slope through a forest, always under the watchful eye of their parents who are waiting at the end, excited about their tots’ skills. Moguls, wooden characters and mysterious sounds make skiing on the “Ghost Trail” thrilling fun for young ski stars. A converted skidoo brings the giggly gang to the ski lift so they don’t have to lug around their gear. In March and April the on-slope butler Freddy distributes free ice-cream among kids.
