From gondola rides to alpine delights and little water adventures

There are those days out where everything just falls into place: no long climbs, plenty of variety for the children, and moments when Mum and Dad can catch their breath for a bit. That’s exactly what a day at the Schwemmalm in the Ultental feels like.

The Schwemmalm embodies everything families love: leisurely walks, quality time together and little adventures along the way. The experience begins effortlessly with the gondola – and up there, alpine pastures, water and plenty of space to explore await.

Up into the mountains by gondola

We set off at a leisurely pace in the gondola. As the valley below gradually gets smaller, the excitement grows as we head up. For children, the adventure often begins right here — after all, a gondola ride is never just a means of transport, but an experience in itself.

Once at the top, fresh mountain air, sweeping views and trails that are easily manageable even with younger children await.

A stop for refreshments at the Innere Schwemmalm

After a spot of exercise comes a spot of indulgence.

The Innere Schwemmalm is the perfect place for a cosy break. Rustic, welcoming and exactly what you’d expect from a proper alpine hut.

Kaiserschmarrn, South Tyrolean classics and a spot in the sun — that’s often all you need.

Stress-free walking

The walk towards the Innere Schwemmalm is a pleasant one, with no major inclines. The wide paths make the walk particularly family-friendly — even with a pushchair.

The children’s favourite spot: the little lake

And then usually comes the highlight of the day.

A small lake invites you to play, explore and cool off. Take off your shoes, roll up your trousers and dip your feet in the water.

Whilst the children splash about, throw stones or let little boats float by, adults can simply sit back and enjoy the moment.

A day that doesn’t have to be spectacularly noisy to be special — it’s simply good for the soul.
