The gondola of the Rauriser Hochalmbahnen takes you to the Hochalm, with walking paths and viewpoints. For families there is Tilly's Waldpfad, an interactive adventure trail. The Greifvogelwarte and the gold-panning site Heimalm are popular as well, and along the way there are huts and mountain pastures.
- Tilly's Waldpfad is made for families
- Gold panning is possible at the Goldwaschplatz Heimalm
In summer the Rauriser Hochalmbahnen are a good starting point for trips in the Alps. The gondola takes you to the Hochalm, where many walking paths, viewpoints and fresh mountain air await you. One of the attractions is Tilly's Waldpfad, an interactive adventure trail for families. Also popular are the Greifvogelwarte and the Goldwaschplatz Heimalm, where the gold-prospecting history of the Raurisertal is taken up. Along the way huts and mountain pastures offer Pinzgauer hospitality.
What visitors say
The gondola brings visitors around 900 metres of ascent up to the Hochalm at 1,780 metres in a few minutes, which makes it an easy mountain day for families. The birds of prey demonstration is the highlight for most visitors: the birds skim low over the audience, and it is necessary to stay seated and to follow the falconer's instructions strictly. There is also gold panning at the middle station, an educational trail through the forest back down and a small mountain lake with a pedal raft. It is more a family mountain with activities than a base for demanding tours.
- · Plan the visit around one of the two daily birds of prey demonstrations; outside those times the highlight is missed.
- · Walk the forest educational trail from the top station back to the middle station; about an hour and manageable with children.
