Ever since I laid eyes on the iconic image of Hallstatt, Austria I’ve wanted to visit this beautiful lakeside town. The image of the stately waterfront church with the Austrian Alps as a backdrop is breathtaking, and has made Hallstatt famous. When we planned our family trip to Austria, a visit to Hallstatt with kids was a must.
Europe

Alpe Adria Cycle Path – Family Cycling Holidays in Austria
If you are looking to enjoy family cycling holidays in Austria, you should consider the family-friendly version of the Alpe Adria cycle path.

A family-friendly version of the Alpe Adria cycle path removes the most difficult parts, while preserving the scenery in one of the most beautiful regions of Austria.

We don’t have many regrets when we travel, but we regret having only 2 days in Bovec with kids. During the entirety of our stay, we couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the mountain setting around Bovec is.
Zell am See with Kids in Summer
The Austrian Alps are some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. This means that no matter where you travel in Austria with kids, the scenery is going to be stunning. How do you improve on this scenery? Simple… add a beautiful lake to the mix!
Zillertal with Kids in Summer
The Zillertal Valley is an extremely family-friendly adventure playground in Austria. Very close to both Innsbruck and Salzburg, Zillertal is a beautiful mountain valley filled with endless things to do with kids. Due to the ample amount of ski resorts in the area, they have gone all out to make Zillertal a fun family-friendly destination in summer.
In addition to traditional mountain recreational activities such as hiking, biking etc., there are countless opportunities to take a cable car to the top of a mountain for some family fun. With so many recreation possibilities, a visit to Zillertal with kids in summer is a great idea for your family holiday to Austria!
Hut to Hut Hiking in Slovenia with Kids
Ever since we did our first multi-day family hiking tour in Colombia, we’ve been seeking another kid-friendly hiking tour. We had a guide in Colombia, so this time we were especially interested in a self-guided hiking tour where we could venture out and enjoy our hiking at our own pace. As we were planning our summer family holiday to Europe, we became determined to try hut to hut hiking in Slovenia.
Our Family-Friendly Slovenia Bike Tour Experience
Bled has been on our travel bucket list for a very long time, so when we planned a family vacation to Slovenia and Austria, visiting Bled was a must.

We were very excited to discover the Slovenia Family Cycling Tour throughout the Julian Alps offered by Life Bike.

Chamonix with Kids
We are mountain people. We live in the mountains, we play in the mountains and yes, we travel to mountains. When we decided to spend our summer on a family holiday to France, we knew we had to visit Chamonix with kids. Yes, Chamonix looks a lot like our home in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, but there is something special about the French Alps around Chamonix which all families will enjoy.
