Wagrain Grafenberg

Reviewed By Nir L

We were here with two kids (6,8) and they loved (!!!) it.
Just before the cable car ride the kids get to see Wagrini (with some candies). The ride itself is very nice and you can start seeing the beautiful views of the surrounding Mountains.
Once you arrive there's a big playground, right in front of you, with a big trampoline, a small lake with rafts, bridge and rocks to cross it.
From this point, there's a nice trail with great views for us and numerous special Playgrounds that mesmerize the kids, they can hang there forever...
We loved it and we've spent there about half a day.

Although the ski terrain is lovely, the people (especially the ticket people ) are very rude unless you are either German or Austrian. They allow these people to push through and don't organise the queues. They are more interested in maximising the money they make rather than the long term. Stay well away if you are foreign.

Reviewed By JiniHH - Hamburg, Germany

Wir haben eine geführte Flying Fox Seilrutschen-Parcours durch die Kesselfallschlucht mit kletter-welt gemacht. Treffpunkt ist am Parkplatz vorm Ortseingangsschild Kleinarl. Dort stehen 2 Container mit Kletterausrüstung, wo Kens uns empfangen hat. Wir wurden in die Ausrüstung eingewiesen und sind dann gemeinsam mit der Gruppe zur Familien-/Startrunde auf. Man ist mit der Kletterausrüstung durch Kakensysteme doppelt gesichert und obwohl es die Starttour ist, sind schon 2,3 anspruchsvollere Stückchen an der Feldwand dabei. Am Ende kommt man beim Hochseilgarten raus, welches man noch mitbuchen kann.
Weiter geht es dann zurück zum Abseilen über 5 Seilrutschen. Was für ein Spass!!
Wir konnten netterweise noch die 2. Route mit Klettern im Wasserfall machen, dass hat auch richtig Laune gemacht.
Insgesamt ein toller Ausflug/Erfahrung.
Preise: 26 Euro Verleih für die Ausrüstung plus Euro 6,00 für die Führung pro Person.
Die Tour dauert insgesamt ca. 2 Stunden.

We have had our youngest (Alexander, 8 years) in ski school for 5 whole days with Helene. She’s fantastic!! “The best ski school teacher ever” said my son. My oldest (Christoffer, 11 years) has had privet lessons by Nicolai Riis. He was a great teacher for young boys. I myself have had privet lessons by Laura. Super sweet and very good teacher. We will for sure use your school again! See you next year!

Liechtensteinklamm

Due to a rockfall, the gorge Liechtensteinklamm is closed for the entire season 2017. We apologize for any inconveniences! The gorge Liechtensteinklamm, one of the longest and deepest white water gorges in the Alps, is an outing destination for the whole family, located only 30 min away from the City of Salzburg. This natural phenomenon in the heart of Salzburg is well worth the visit the whole summer.

We visited here today, it was absolutely lovely. It has been raining recently, the water was rushing down the gorge. I do not know if this is more than usual but it was incredibly powerful. I used the word "wow" more than once! I enjoyed the walk up and back, sturdy footwear is recommended as the wooden platforms can be a little slippy.
Take your time and enjoy the views, you won't see this every day.

Rodelbahn Lucky Flitzer

Reviewed By Davor G - Pula, Croatia

We have been here for the first time and sorry to say it was not so good. First is hard to talk to the staff on the cashier true the window and you can not see him inside. After buying the ticket we didn't get any instruction how and what to do. We have been waiting for some time and the staff member in one moment decided to open the door of his office and didn't even won't to come out of the office and help. He told us that all is written on the wall.
The slide himself is not bad but this give us a bad impression of all....

I loved this place. My kids loved this place. After a long day skiing, my wife and I enjoyed a soak in a heated outside pool while it snowed on us. There was a laser light show that my kids enjoyed. I highly recommend this place.

Wasserwelt Wagrain

Reviewed By Micah S - Jerusalem, Israel

We visited the water parks Therme Amade and in Gastein - and they were much better. We found the water a bit cold for a cool day, only one swimming pool open (and a very small kiddies pool). The two water slides weren't very exciting.
The entrance was included in the Salzburgerland card.
