Our highlights for families:
- Gimmy Fun Ride: A varied slope in the Jochtal area, with steep turns, small jumps, tunnels and many exciting elements – action and fun are guaranteed.
- Gimmy Snowparks: Two children’s playgrounds on snow – one by the Jochtal valley station and one by the Nesselbahn mountain station. Snow hills with slides, crawling tubes and climbing elements invite children to explore and experiment.
- Kidscross: The two ski cross tracks in the Jochtal and Gitschberg areas offer plenty of fun with their waves and hills. They’re ideal for children (and parents) looking to improve their technique in a safe, playful way.
- Speed Check: Every second counts! Hit the speed track on Mt. Gitschberg to measure your speed and have your feat recorded on camera – a real highlight for racers young and old.

If after all this you are left wanting more, the full-day course is for you: while mum and dad unplug and enjoy the 55 kilometres of pistes, the children can play away in the snow, under the watchful eye of skilled carers. In the evening, when you are back at your accommodation, it will be wonderful to sit together at dinner and share your experiences and highlights of the day.
