Skiing, ice skating and sledding are quite the obvious choices when looking for fun family activities during the cold season. Special offers in the Children’s Region go one step further and really bring fun winter activities to a new level. Here are some unforgettable experiences for the whole family: airboarding on Fronalpstock, night-time skiing or preparing the slopes on a real snow groomer.

Or how about a dip into warm and pleasant thermal waters in the city of Baden or a city tour with chocolate and other surprises? Why not doing it like the penguins and having a royal parade at freezing temperatures? There is plenty of choice and a ton of fun waiting for the whole family!
