Tour description

The Sattelberg in Ramsau am Dachstein is THE "children's mountain" par excellence. The first Austrian nature and environmental adventure trail is not only exciting and interesting for kids, parents and grandparents will also be amazed. It lives up to its name and has even more to offer: the Ramsaurier Zwergerl farm (with display and game boards in toddler size) is Kali's play paradise for the youngest. It is located right next to the Sattelberg hut. From the starting point, part of the trail is a small circular trail that can also be used with a stroller. The trail has been awarded the "Austrian Hiking Seal of Quality"!
