The Watles adventure mountain gets everyone movingAdventurers, head for the heights!
Adventurers, head for the heights!
A summer to remember. On the Watles adventure mountain, hiking trails, breathtaking views and opportunities for playing come together to create a true Eldorado for families. Even the scenic ride up from Prämajur on the four-seater chairlift is an experience in itself. Young and old can enjoy the calm before the storm - the storm of adventure - as they soar up to 2,150 metres above sea level.
Watles is the starting point for numerous well-marked, family-friendly hikes, some leading all the way to Schlinig. The circular hikes with magnificent panoramic views over the valley and mountain paradise of the Oberer Vinschgau are a delight to behold.
The Watles adventure mountain offers numerous other attractions. Families can splash about at the interactive play lake, test their aim on the 3D archery course, race downhill on mountain carts, and try out giant Funballz on the water. Children and young-at-heart acrobats on two wheels can push their limits on the e-trial course at the mountain station.
And for a well-earned break: cosy alpine huts with spacious sun terraces and typical regional delicacies invite you to relax. Whether at the Plantapatschhütte or the little snack bar at the valley station, warm and welcoming moments are guaranteed everywhere.
A little reminder: if you want to arrive as comfortable and stress-free as possible, take the public bus line 277 straight to the valley station.
