Holidays for the entire family in Tyrol
CHILDREN's & YOUTH PROGRAMme

Ready for some time off as a parent? The children's programme in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena makes young guests smile from ear to ear – and gives parents the chance to spend some time alone or as a couple while on holiday at the foot of the Zugspitze. Meanwhile their little ones are in the best of hands and can enjoy plenty of play time with peers. For older children there's an extra youth programme, so boredom is definitely not an option during the family holiday!
We develop our children's and youth program as part of our membership of the Tiroler Familiennester association. This allows us to offer families a high-quality program for a successful vacation for everyone.

A summer full of adventures

Children's programme in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena

As a proud member of the Tiroler Familiennester, we are committed to high quality standards.
In order to meet these goals, we develop a new motto for our children's programme every year together with our partners.
Diverse, interesting and adventurous: this is exactly how our children's program is designed.
In this way we want to offer a colorful and vivid summer to all the families that spend their vacation in the beautiful mountains of Tyrol. 
This year we are looking forward to a summer with the motto “Gisela daisy”.

The story: A Web of Courage and Friendship

At the very top of the attic of a small house there lives a little spider called Spinnfried. He's no ordinary eight-legged creature—no, Spinnfried is an artist. With his delicate threads, he weaves intricate webs that sparkle and shine when the sun shines through the skylight. But Spinnfried has a huge problem. He's very shy. No, worse—he's scared, scared of the world outside. He's heard stories: about ordinary spiders, moody beetles, and nasty bees, about little people who hunt spiders, and about big people who catch them and take them away because they don't like spiders. So he prefers to stay indoors. Alone.
