Family holidays with small children and pushchairs are wonderfully relaxed in Zell am See-Kaprun. The region offers numerous stroller-friendly paths that lead you along comfortable, well-maintained trails to the most beautiful viewpoints and natural highlights. Whether along Lake Zell, through idyllic alpine meadows or gently ascending mountain paths, every family finds their perfect route here.
Dream Routes Along Lake Zell
The lakeside circuit around Lake Zell is one of the most popular routes for families with pushchairs. On flat terrain you glide along crystal-clear mountain water, enjoy magnificent views of the Schmittenhoehe, and always have the opportunity to stop at bathing spots or small cafes. The total length is around 13 kilometres and is wonderfully walkable in sections too.
Gentle Paths in the Kaprun Valley
The Kaprun Valley invites leisurely walks on wide, paved hiking paths. Particularly the path along the Kaprun stream to the high mountain reservoirs offers breathtaking natural scenery that is also easily accessible with a pushchair. Specially signposted family routes ensure you always find the right way.
Mountain Paths with Comfortable Surfaces
Even at medium altitude, many alpine pasture paths are designed so that modern all-terrain pushchairs can be used without any problem. The path to the Schmittenhoehe via the Sonnkogelalm or the routes around the Kaprun cable car mountain station offer fantastic panoramic views without sacrificing a suitable pathway. A robust all-terrain pushchair is recommended here.
