Children's hiking trail

Search for gnomes and solve puzzles - even in winter.

The Godi & Kari winter children's hiking trail in the snow offers lots of fun for young and old. In winter, the gnomes hide closer to the mountain station and the cosy Sunnbüel mountain restaurant. The circular trail is just under 2 kilometres long and takes less than an hour.

On some sections of the route, a rapid descent on a bobsleigh or sledge is possible. Smaller children can be pulled in a sledge along the entire route. Take care on uphill and downhill sections.

When handing in their talons at the Sunnbüel mountain restaurant, young guests receive a warm punch. All participants are also automatically entered into the main prize draw at the end of the winter season.
