Summer Activities for Family Holidays in Tyrol

Playing with water, sand, and mud... building dams: At "Murmliwasser", childhood dreams come true – and right next to the Komperdell lift. In "Murmliwasser" in Serfaus, there is a gold panning area for children. And kids aren't the only ones who get gold fever on the mountain!

The “Murmli-Trail” wanders through a fairytale forest past a mysterious wishing well, a grouchy bear, and many other surprises - all the way to the amazing marmot cave. A load of guaranteed fun for families!

And... what exciting secrets lie hidden along with a crashed aeroplane and jettisoned cargo in the middle of the forest? Child detectives can follow the clues on the "nosedive" adventure trail.

MURMLIWASSER
Nothing stimulates the imagination more than the mixture of mud, sand, and water – called “Gatsch” in the Tyrolean dialect. With this material, it is possible to build the neatest castles, roads, and landscapes – and then carry out exciting experiments.

And no one gets upset if you get wet and dirty. Plenty of parents are more than happy to join in here at the new, interactive Murmliwasser fun park near the Komperdell lift in Serfaus. All around Lausbach Creek, various fun, engaging activity stations are set up for visitors. Mill wheels and water chutes, mudslide mountains, water ladders, a suspension bridge, and adventure playgrounds keep everyone excited.

The building of dams and culverts is expressly desired, and mud fights are officially smiled upon. Parents who wish to keep a little distance from the splashing can kick back in the integrated relax-zone and observe the wet and wild fun from the safety of a cosy deck chair.

MARMOT HABITAT AREA
The marmot is especially well adapted to life in the mountains around Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis. Marmots are known for their characteristic whistling which often seems to be taunting hikers. Usually it is just a short whistle, and then the shy animal disappears again. One has to be very quick to catch a glimpse of one of these adorable creatures.
In a large, enclosed outdoor habitat area right next to “Murmliwasser” you can view the marmots with no distractions.

Feeding the marmots

Watch while the six lively marmots eat right out of their caregiver's hand, sit on their hind legs, and fill up their bellies with tasty treats. Take pictures of these hard-to-glimpse animals right up close. But please don't forget: Quick movements, flash bulbs, and loud noises frighten these little rodents.

Daily presentation at 3pm unless strong rains interfere.

THE MARMOT CAVE
Experience the marmots' world up-close. Right at the "Murmliwasser" park, you can plunge into the "Marmots' Cave" on a subterranean journey of discovery.

Find out how a marmot feels, and explore the underground realm! A cleverly excavated, 200-metre long cave system with various access points from all directions offers real insights into the secret world of the four-legged ground dwellers.

Courageous explorers can plunge into the subterranean world by slide, while others can simply access the entrances by foot. The accessible network of branching tunnels and excavated paths is just like a marmot labyrinth.

SERFAUSER SAUSER ZIPLINE
To float like a bird above the mountain tops while the breathtaking heights give a perfect feeling of flight: It is a dream that many share! On the Serfauser Sauser zipline, your dream of flight can finally come true.

At a height of 85 metres above the ground, zipping along at 65 km/hour, you will fly right over the heads of hikers below. Experience this truly unique thrill! The Serfauser Sauser is every bit as unusual as it is an exhilarating delight.

Strap on your pilot's vest, buckle in, hang on – and fly! Accompanied by trained guides who are there to ensure optimal safety, you can enjoy a weightless flight right through the beautiful landscape of Serfaus.
