Favourite places
Are you travelling with your family? Well that's good because the Wiedersberger Horn is a real highlight for all ages and one of our favourite spots. It is one of the few peaks that can be climbed with young children in order to then enjoy the unique mountain panorama from the summit cross. But that's not all: back at the top station the Lauserland children’s mountain top adventure playground is waitng to be explored.
Those more drawn towards nature will of course find ideal showpieces. To really switch off and unwind we recommend Lake Zirein – a remarkable natural highlight in the rugged Rofan Range with a panorama to "bow down" before and relax at.
