Adventure for the whole family

Family program

Silver Ranger wanted

Family time in nature
2026 has a very special highlight in store for our guests' children: the new Silver Ranger Karwendel program - together with their parents. The highlights are the ranger days on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but there is also a varied program on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays - e.g. farm visits on the Weerberg, around the Kellerjoch or a legend storytelling at the castle.

Why with parents?
Because shared experiences bring people together, provide security and turn the ranger adventures into real family moments.

Important to know:
Parental accompaniment is mandatory for all program items - with one exception: Wednesday at the Schiestlhof.
