From the Franz-Josef's Höhe you'll see the Pasterze glacier and maybe catch a glimpse of 3,798-metre summit of the Grossglockner. Keep a look out for the wild marmots and Ibex too - they love the high alpine conditions.

Its all about fun and adventure at the Alpinolino Westendorf, an alpine explorer park on the adventurous terrain of the Talkaser mountain - at the top of the Alpenrosenbahn lift. Kids can go on a discovery mission with a choice between various themed trails (Himmelsteig, Holzwurmweg and Adlerhorst) and a wide selection of puzzles along the way - they will burn some energy in no time.

Take part in a range of events and games at the Alpinolino festival, including face painting, tug-of-war, arts and crafts, sack races, and even competitions. It's great fun for the whole family but will be especially loved by the younger ones. The festival runs every Monday, from 10:30am to 2pm, during July and August.

Visit the outdoor swimming pool in Westendorf for a dip - there's a children's pool and slide, plus plenty of lawn space to relax. Or, mix it up and visit Brixen outdoor pool where children can paddle, jump and slide into the pool. It's on the Brixental bike path so is easily accessible from Westendorf and there's also a spacious lawn and small kiosk. Even better, head up the mountain on the Brixen lift and discover the Filzalmsee lake, with various play areas to enjoy on the shore and views for miles - can you find the giant that lurks in the lake?
