Baby, Mountains, and Backcountry

Outdoors Together—Active, Flexible, and Family-Friendly

A baby changes a lot of things—but not necessarily your love for the mountains, snow, and adventure.

This special winter week is designed for active families and parents traveling alone with babies and toddlers who want to explore the outdoors together without their vacation revolving solely around short walks and children’s activities.
During the day, we’ll explore the winter wonderland of the Wipptal on stroller-friendly winter hikes, on snowshoes, or in a baby carrier. On select days, we’ll split the group: while some take it easy with the kids, motivated parents can go on a ski tour. Later, we’ll meet up again at an alpine pasture or a mountain restaurant.
This way, there’s room for both family time and your own mountain adventure.

Different routes. Same mountain. Same lunch table.
One parent goes ski touring, the other goes hiking with the baby—and later, the family reunites at the alpine hut.
We also want to create opportunities for parents traveling alone, so that the athletic activities aren’t automatically reserved for couples.

Who is this week intended for?

For parents who...

  • enjoy spending time outdoors and hiking in the mountains
  • would naturally like to bring your baby or toddler along
  • want to meet other active parents
  • want to go on vacation together as a family
  • but also want to go on a real ski tour every once in a while

Both parents don't have to be at the same level in terms of skiing ability and fitness; that's actually part of the concept.

Traveling with a Baby

All group tours are selected so that—depending on current snow and trail conditions—they can be completed with an all-terrain stroller, a bike trailer in stroller mode, or a baby carrier.
March is particularly well-suited for this: the days are getting longer, the sun is stronger, and temperatures in the valley are often already more pleasant, while winter conditions for ski tours still prevail at higher elevations.
We also want to make being out and about with a baby as hassle-free as possible. That’s why additional amenities are available for the group, such as:

  • Weather-protected changing station
  • Heated or Insulated Changing Pad
  • Hot water in thermoses
  • Seat Covers and Heated Mats
  • A dedicated game and lounge area in the hotel


On most tours, we also try to include a stop at a warm place to rest.

The Planned Weekly Schedule


Sunday – Arrival & Getting to Know Each Other
Individual arrivals and a relaxed opportunity to get to know each other in the specially equipped play and family room, which will be available to us throughout the week. We’ll go over the program and the guidelines and get to know the other families.

Monday – Welcoming Winter Together
To kick things off, we’ll go on our first winter hike together. It’ll be a leisurely hike where we’ll get used to being out and about with strollers, bike trailers, or baby carriers, and figure out what pace works best for the group. 

Tuesday – Two Routes, One Common Goal
Today, we’re splitting up for the first time. Motivated parents can go on a ski tour, while the family group hikes with the children toward Sattelbergalm. At lunchtime, everyone meets up again for a meal together.
Later in the afternoon, there’s an optional sauna and steam session with Laurin for those interested.

Wednesday – Bergeralm Adventure
Those looking for a bit of exercise can ascend about 700 meters in elevation on touring skis and then ski down the slope to the group meeting point. The family group will hike for about two hours—alternatively, part of the route can be covered comfortably by bus and gondola.
We’ll meet up for lunch at the Bergeralm.
In the afternoon, we’ll head back toward Nösslach. Anyone who still has energy can take the lift up again and—if conditions permit—enjoy an additional backcountry descent.

Thursday – Sunny Side Day
Today, everyone is out and about together again. A leisurely hike on the sunnier side of the Wipptal valley takes us, for example, toward the Kastenalm. With various starting points to choose from, the hike can be flexibly tailored to cover an elevation gain of approximately 150 to 350 meters.
Time for hiking, playing, stopping for refreshments, and enjoying ourselves. Haven’t worked up enough of a sweat yet? Sauna master Laurin will be back in the late afternoon.

Friday – Ski Tour, Alpine Pasture & Cheese
To wrap things up, there’s another opportunity for a challenging ski tour, for example toward Hoher Lorenzen. At the same time, the family group will be out on a more leisurely outing with the children.
Afterward, everyone will meet up again for a shared alpine pasture and cheese experience with a tasting at the hotel, bringing the week to a festive close together.

Saturday – Return Trip
After breakfast, individual departures.

As flexible as the weather in the mountains—and as life with a baby

The program listed reflects the general plan for the week. The specific itineraries are adjusted daily based on the weather, snow and avalanche conditions, trail conditions, and the needs and ages of the children.
It’s not about racking up as many meters of elevation gain as possible every day.
It’s about spending a week together in the mountains where there’s room for the baby, the family, and mountain adventures all at the same time.
