Klippitztörl: Mountain adventures between hiking, tobogganing and the climbing park

Klippitztörl combines scenic days in the mountains with experiences that families and active holidaymakers can easily incorporate into their travel plans. A chairlift takes visitors to the summit of the Hohenwart at 1,818 m above sea level. The summer toboggan run then leads back down—a clear contrast to peaceful hiking and an opportunity to add variety to your stay. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can therefore consider whether to focus on physical activity, shared family experiences or a mixture of both.

Lift, toboggan run and climbing park

The summer toboggan run at Klippitztörl is 1,400 metres long and covers a difference in altitude of 260 metres. Anyone looking for a specific activity for a shared outing will find an experience here with clearly measurable features. The adventure climbing park was also built nearby on natural terrain. It is aimed at holidaying families, day visitors, schools, groups and seminars. This means that a stay can be arranged differently depending on the composition of the travel group, without everyone having to follow the same daily schedule.

The Kiddy Park has a minimum height requirement of 120 cm. Children may use it only when accompanied by an adult. The park includes tree elements, suspension bridges and flying foxes. You should take these conditions into account in advance when planning with children. The adventure climbing park and the Kiddy Park offer distinct opportunities for families who want to combine playful challenges with a stay in the mountain landscape.

Hiking trails, leisurely hikes and wildlife observation

Klippitztörl has an extensive, well-signposted network of hiking trails. There are also numerous leisurely hikes in and around the Klippitztörl hiking paradise. The tours have been recorded by GPS, described in detail and can be printed out together with a tour map. This makes it easier to choose a suitable hike before setting off from your holiday destination on a day trip. Depending on your preferred pace of travel, you can combine active trails with trips to the adventure attractions or give the hiking days most of your time.

While hiking at Klippitztörl, you can observe chamois on the Forstalpe, marmots on the Geierkogel and numerous birds. These wildlife observations complement the sporting aspect of hiking with attentive exploration of the landscape. Especially for families, it can be appealing not only to cover a route along the way, but also to look out for animals.

Ski area and snowshoes

Klippitztörl also offers a specific setting for ski days: The ski area has six modern lifts and 13 runs of all difficulty levels. If you prefer to travel on snowshoes, you can rent them from Klippitztörl Touristik at the main ticket office by the Hocheggerlift for €12.00 per day. This allows you to choose your accommodation based on which activities are to shape your holiday, without committing to just one type of leisure activity.

Planning excursions and comparing destinations

The ÖBB Erlebnis Ticket combines a train journey, lift ride, tobogganing and/or the climbing park at a discounted combination price. For travel planning, it may therefore make sense to organise your desired experiences early and then choose the right holiday apartment or accommodation. If you would like to compare other destinations in addition to Klippitztörl, you will find Sankt Paul Im Lavanttal, Sankt Margarethen Im Lavanttal, Wolfsberg, Preitenegg, St. Ulrich, Sankt Gertraud, Sankt Andrä and Gemmersdorf here.
