Let’s go skiing – and to do that, all we have to do is step outside the hotel. Kids from the age of 2 (at least show size 25) can discover the joys of skiing. The facilities at the Children’s Hotel Felben are ideal for even the smallest children to take their first steps on skis. On the gentle ski hill right next to the hotel there is a magic carpet ski lift which means that the kids can get to the top of the slope again after every run with ease. The ski course takes place from Monday to Thursday, from 9:45 to approx. 12 noon. Because we start with the basics on Monday and gradually increase the pace, it is important the kids take part in the course right from the start and continue on to Thursday – this guarantees the best possible results. Of course we provide the equipment needed (skis, ski boots and helmets). On the last day of the course the kids get the opportunity to show off what they have learned and are each presented with a certificate and medal by Clara Clover, the hotel mascot.

Fun and action for the whole family is had on our sledging trip to the Wildkogel natural toboggan run. We make the ascent to the top of the run, at about 2,100 metres above sea level, with the “Smaragdbahn” cable car in Bramberg.  From here the longest natural, flood-lit toboggan run in the world starts – 14 kilometres of adrenaline-packed fun right back down to the valley. Tobogganers cover an amazing altitude difference of 1,300 meters in around 30 – 50 minutes. Of course we provide sledges and children’s helmets for this trip free of charge.

  • For all children, accompanied by our childminding staff 
  • Search for and identify animal tracks
  • Understanding how animals survive the winter 
  • Feeding the wild animals 

We head into the neighbouring woodland in search of animals tracks. With the help of our staff your children can become animal tracking experts. Who can identify the animal tracks in the snow? What is the difference between the tracks of a hare and a deer? Do birds also leave prints in the snow? And, because the animals are usually hungry in the winter, we bring them something to eat. This is a great winter excursion for our young trackers.

Ski-suites, hats and gloves are the only equipment needed for snow castle building and the playground right next to the hotel is the perfect building site. „Snow architects“ of all ages can get stuck into the task of building the most impressive castle, igloo or cave.

In winter there’s more than about skiing. The kids also can have a lot of winter fun with building a snow man. Of course it’s more fun if everybody works together. Who knows – maybe we get a whole snow man family? We prettify the snow men also with food-coloring. Which snow-man has the most colorful dress?
