When the lifts start running again in early summer and the alpine meadows burst into bloom, the Glemmtal valley transforms into one of the largest outdoor playgrounds in the Alps – the official "Valley of Games" (Tal der Spiele) of the Saalbach Hinterglemm tourism region.
Surrounding our hotel, the 4*S Hotel Alpin Juwel run by the Wolf-Schwabl family, young explorers, brave teenagers, and parents who still love to climb and carve will find themed trails, adventure mountains, and water play areas all just a stone's throw away.
Your Holiday Bonus: With the JOKER CARD, which you receive free of charge at check-in as our guest, you can ride all summer cable cars for free, enjoy complimentary access to the Käpt'n Hook adventure pool, and receive fantastic discounts at many other local attractions.
1. Montelino’s Adventure Trail on the Kohlmais Mountain
The story of the little clown Montelino, who lost his friends and his smile because he was too busy performing, guides children along about 30 interactive stations between the top and middle stations of the Kohlmaisbahn lift. Here, kids can climb, balance, and solve puzzles. You can pick up the little adventure toy box right at the top station.
2. Mount Kodok on the Reiterkogel
Up on the Reiterkogel, the notorious goblin Kodok has hidden Montelino’s magic hat. Anyone searching for it will need courage and the correct secret code in their adventure pass. The trail leads through a small canyon, past the talking tree, and across several mysterious stations.
3. Schnitza’s Wood Park at the End of the Valley
Located right next to the "Teufelswasser" (Devil's Water) at the end of the valley in Lengau, everything here revolves around wood – as a natural material to touch, carve, and understand. Children can compete in milking "Resi" the wooden cow, carve their own walking sticks, play extreme mini-golf, or solve the tree-slice puzzle. It’s a place where families can easily spend three or four hours without anyone missing their smartphones.
4. High Ropes Park at the End of the Valley
With courses ranging from 3 to 40 meters in height, the High Ropes Park operated by Bauböck is one of the largest facilities in Europe. For those with a head for heights, the absolute highlight is the Mega Flying Fox, which lets you glide across the valley at heights of around 100 meters and speeds of up to 70 km/h. Every participant is permanently double-secured via a continuous lifeline, and a full safety briefing is provided at the training course before you start.
5. The Teufelswasser (Devil’s Water) at the End of the Valley
A completely free, beautifully designed water playground at the end of the Glemmtal valley road. Kneipp basins, a rock pool, a play stream, and a forest play area are designed so that children can decide for themselves just how wet they want to get.
The 4*S Hotel Alpin Juwel is located just 100 meters from the Kohlmaisbahn lift – placing you only a few minutes' walk from direct entry into the Valley of Games. The hotel is personally run by the Schwabl family, who have known Saalbach Hinterglemm inside out for decades and are always happy to share insider tips off the beaten path.
After an active day in the mountains, a spacious spa area, regionally rooted gourmet cuisine, and generous family rooms with plenty of space for parents and children await you.
