Zell am See-Kaprun is unfortunately less well-known as a summer holiday destination. Did you know that families with children can experience a fantastic summer holiday here? The fairytale location of the two villages on Lake Zell, surrounded by majestic mountain peaks, makes the destination a holiday and play paradise, especially for active families seeking adventure and action. What does the area around Zell am See offer?
Extensive entertainment program for children
From May to October, there are lots of great activities for children aged 5-16. They certainly won't be bored here. A wide variety of activities are offered.
Family walk with llamas
A llama walk in Kaprun, accompanied by a true llama expert. Children can supervise and care for their own llama. The llamas carry the luggage; children cannot ride them.
A delightful walk through the Kaprun countryside, and the children have only one task: the llamas are not allowed to eat along the way. We'll take a break during the walk, and the children can search for gold. The walk costs approximately €55 for the whole family.
Trout fishing in Rauris
A great activity for the whole family. You can watch the trout swimming and rent a fishing rod with bait (€5). Try to catch as many trout as possible, then buy and take them home. You'll pay approximately €14 per kilo. The tripe will be removed immediately, and you can prepare the fish at home.
You can also have your freshly caught fish prepared at the on-site restaurant. There are guides at the fishing pond who will explain everything and assist you. Even if you're not familiar with fishing, it's really nice to give it a try.
There's a lovely playground for the children and a real petting zoo with llamas, horses, and rabbits. A wonderful day out for the whole family.
Rafting for the whole family
A real rafting tour on the Salzach River for true adventurers. For children aged 8 and up, with a swimming badge. An introductory tour of approximately 3 hours, including equipment and a certificate, for €29 per person.

Rodenln - 100% Fun guaranteed for the whole family
When you think of a family vacation, you have to mention tobogganing, and it's not just the kids who love it. Naturally, tobogganing is a winter activity. But not in Zell am See-Kaprun. Besides numerous winter toboggan runs, we also have a year-round toboggan run – the "Maisiflitzer" at the valley station of the MK Maiskogelbahn cable car in the center of Kaprun. Sitting in the toboggans, you ride up to the starting point and then, like on a roller coaster, you race back down to the valley over bridges, over waves, through banked curves, and through banked turns. You can speed down the 1,300-meter track at up to 40 km/h – and you can control your own speed. This adrenaline rush can be experienced alone or with a partner in two-seater toboggans.
