The Most Beautiful Summit Hikes for the Whole Family

Hikes for mountaineers of all ages

Sterzing/Vipiteno, Ratschings/Racines, and Gossensass/Colle Isarco offer some easily accessible mountain peaks which can be ascended even with small children – sure-footedness and basic physical condition are the only prerequisites. Pleasant hikes with unforgettable views, easy, not too steep, and varied, so that your little ones can also discover the joy of hiking. The hiking time is limited and at the foot of the peaks there are nice places to stop, offering great experiences for kids.

The four best family hikes with small children can be found here:

Passo Pennes and "Gänsekragen"

This easy hike is also suitable for younger children. On a two kilometer ring trail you walk from the pass to the Pennes Pass Lake and enjoy the view over the Sarentine Alps.

To the Monte Sommo

The Monte Sommo is reachable with a steep climb in 1 and a half hours. The view on Vipiteno repays the fatigue made. And during the descent you will find the Braunhof farm and the Prantneralm mountain hut with delicious typical dishes.

The Zinseler summit

The Zinseler summit is ideal for a mountain hike for the whole family. From Passo Pennes you reach the summit at almost 2.500 m in one hour. Our advice: to climb the Zinseler at dawn and enjoy the sunrise in the middle of the Alps.

The Monte Cavallo summit

The so called "Köpfl" is the summit of Monte Cavallo. The peak is reachable from the mountain station in just under one hour. In July and August you can almost reach the top with the panoramic chair lift. Those suffering from dizziness may instead enjoy the same panorama on the panorama platform at 50 meters below the summit.
