This hike is perfect if you want to get out and about after arriving but aren’t planning a long hike right away. Close the car door, breathe in the mountain air. You’ll reach the top quickly, have two easy trails to choose from, and can head back at any time if the weather takes a turn for the worse or the kids have had enough.

If you head west, things quickly become fun and playful. According to the official description, a leisurely stroller route starts at the mountain station and heads toward Rosswald Speichersee, passing family-friendly attractions that make for perfect short stops along the way.
Berg Kodok is the perfect fit here, because kids don’t just tag along—they get to go on a little adventure right away.

Heading east takes you to the Reiteralm. Up there, you’ll also find the famous “Herb World,” which is described on saalbach.com as lovingly tended medicinal herb beds. It’s a nice contrast to the more active options and works well if you’d rather take a leisurely look around and linger for a bit.

• Bring an extra layer to wear on top—it often feels cooler up in the mountains.
• Plan to have a light snack; short breaks help keep the peace in the family.
• For those with strollers, the western route toward Rosswald Speichersee is especially recommended.
• When clouds roll in, you’ll be back down in no time. That’s exactly why this tour is so great for arrival days.
