Family vacation in Austria: Spring & summer in the Alps
A family vacation in the Alps means nature, exercise, fresh air, and lots of shared experiences. Spring and summer are when the mountains are at their most family-friendly: blooming alpine meadows, easy hiking trails, adventure mountains, swimming lakes, and relaxing vacations far away from mass tourism.
At AlpenParks Resorts, families can enjoy the perfect combination of comfortable accommodation and a wide range of leisure activities – in some of the most beautiful regions of Austria.
Summer vacation in the mountains: variety for the whole family
In summer, you can expect pleasant temperatures, clear mountain air, and countless opportunities for outdoor adventures: swimming lakes and outdoor pools, high ropes courses and climbing parks, summer toboggan runs, themed hiking trails, and nature parks and wildlife reserves.
