Hiking Season Opening 2009: Legends, treasures, and games in Zell am See-Kaprun
Great highlights for small guests: kids can participate in diversified events at the Hiking Season Opening of Zell am See-Kaprun.
And it is not least the bright green holiday dragon and beloved mascot of the local mountain of Schmittenhöhe Schmidolin who guarantees for wide eyes and smiling faces. On Saturday, 27th June, he takes his young visitors on an exciting legend walk. The trip starts at the Panoramarestaurant and heads for the Alpine moors of Maurerkogel. On its way, the group will stop several times to listen to Schmidolin telling fascinating stories. It goes without saying that time flies during such a tour. And this is the case as well on the treasure hunts equipped with GPS receivers. Together with mum and dad, children will be hunting for hidden treasures which can only be found when they follow the directions on the GPS receiver. This modern scavenger hunt starts on Saturday as well.
If your busy hunt made you feel sweaty, you may want to drop in at the 'Ice Arena' on the glacier of Kitzsteinhorn at an altitude of almost 3,000 metres to cool down again. In the perpetual ice of the local mountain of Kaprun, kids can romp around on magic carpets and at the snow beach or dash down great slides. And thanks to the breathtaking view of the Austrian Alps, this journey will be a great experience for parents, too. On Sunday, 28th June 2009, young and old alike can lie back and relax at Schmittenhöhe's popular hammock party at the idyllic Hirschkogel reservoir.
As soon as the youngsters have recharged their batteries, they can participate in the 'Super tour for super kids' sponsored by the beverage manufacturer Capri Sonne. Here, young visitors can look forward to a game show, a superhero quiz and a trip in a flight simulator. A bouncy climbing mountain as well as so-called 'Acro Bungee' where kids enjoy trampolining, secured by two bungee ropes, guarantee for additional fun and diversion.
The holiday region of Zell am See-Kaprun with its 14,000 beds and two million overnight stays per year is one of the most important holiday destinations in Austria. The beautiful flora and fauna in the Alpine panorama and Lake Zell guarantee relaxation and well-being. Golfing, hiking, and bathing are at the focus for the summer time programme, but visitors can choose from more than 40 other activities as well. During the cold season, fun on skis and boards make sure that there is no dull moment. Skiers can comfortably reach the 138 kilometres of slopes covered with powder snow by one of the 54 lifts. Snowboarders enjoy the perfect conditions of the Snowpark on the 2,600-metre-high glacier plateau. Even in the summer you can swish down the slopes here. And family-friendliness is a top priority in Zell am See and Kaprun. For this reason, the region has already received various awards.

Zell am See-Kaprun: dashing through deep powder snow
On the local mountains of Zell am See and Kaprun, winter sports enthusiasts voluntarily stray from the right path. The reason: the backcountry of the region has an absolutely irresistible appeal!

They have only been organized for…
