Schmidolin the dragon Holidays with children on the Schmittenhöhe

Zell am See's local mountain, the Schmittenhöhe, is the home of a very special host: Schmidolin the little dragon. He lives on the mountain all year round, loves to spend his time with visiting children and has all kinds of mischief on his mind. On winter holidays with the family, you can meet him on skis on the XXL fun slope or on the kids slope, where he explains the rules of the pistes to you. In summer, he transforms the forest on the Schmittenhöhe into an exciting world of adventure and invites children to tests of courage, climbs and solving puzzles.

Learning to ski with Schmidolin

Schmidolin doesn't need hibernation. He much prefers to be on the pistes with junior skiers and snowboarders on the family mountain Schmittenhöhe. On your winter holiday with the family, you'll meet him at the local ski school. There he helps out and is a particularly patient teacher: after all, he wants to become a great skier himself! The rules of the pistes are particularly important to him. He likes to explain these to the children in detail so that they are always safe on the pistes. And once you've mastered the turns, Schmidolin will show you the way to the fun slope XXL or the kids slope.

Theme trail: Schmidolin's Baptism of Fire

If you go hiking on the Schmittenhöhe in summer, you're bound to come across him: Schmidolin has built his own adventure park here. But the little dragon urgently needs help: he has to learn how to spit fire and he can't do it without the support of the children. In order for Schmidolin to pass his baptism of fire, the children have to solve tricky tasks and pass daring tests of courage along the adventure trail. All the answers are then documented in the adventure passport so that Schmidolin can thank them with a little memento at the end. You don't need a separate admission ticket for this activity for children: admission to the theme trail is included in the cable car ticket.

Playground: Schmidolin's Dragon Fire

This playground is made for dragon fans: Schmidolin's play tower called Dragon Fire holds many adventures for guests of all ages. Here, children can climb, crawl, swing and slide, climb the viewing tower and catch sight of the dragon's cave. A slide brings the kids safely back to the ground, where swings and recliner benches for some rest are waiting.
