Leutasch in summer is more than just a starting point for hikes. This Tyrolean plateau at over 1,100 metres offers families, couples and groups a wealth of activities – from action-packed adventures to peaceful nature experiences. And the best part: most of them are just a few minutes' drive from Weidach. Guests staying at the Wilderer Chalets have everything literally on their doorstep.
1. Katzenkopf Bike Park – Adrenaline in the Forest
Leutasch has quietly become a real insider tip for mountain bikers. The Katzenkopf Bike Park offers trails for all skill levels – from family-friendly flow trails for children and beginners to challenging lines for experienced riders. Take the gondola up and ride back down at full speed. An experience you won't forget quickly – and one you'll want to do again straight away.
2. Katzenkopf Summer Toboggan Run – Thrilling Descent for All Ages
No bike required – the summer toboggan run at the Katzenkopf delivers speed for everyone. The track winds its way down the hillside at a thrilling pace and is equally popular with children and adults. Those who prefer a slower ride can simply enjoy the views – those who want more speed just press the throttle. Combined with the bike park, the Katzenkopf makes for a perfect half-day outing for the whole family.
3. Alpenbad Leutasch – Relaxation with Mountain Views
After an active day, there's hardly anything better than taking a dip in cool water – with a view of the Tyrolean mountains. The Alpenbad Leutasch combines outdoor swimming fun with a true alpine atmosphere: an outdoor pool with a whirlpool area, surrounded by green meadows and mountain panoramas. Perfect for families with children, for couples looking for a peaceful afternoon – or for anyone who has earned a well-deserved cool-down after the bike park and toboggan run.
4. Sigi's Sauhaufen – Petting Zoo for the Whole Family in Seefeld
A few minutes' drive from Leutasch, right in the heart of Seefeld, a very special experience awaits families: Sigi's Sauhaufen at Hotel Klosterbräu. Behind the cheeky name hides a real childhood dream – getting up close with animals, stroking them, feeding them and simply spending time in their company. The experience is warm, authentic and far from theme-park tourism. A day out that children will remember for a long time.
5. Leutasch Gorge – Free Entry into the World of the Gorge Spirit
Anyone who steps into the Leutasch Gorge – also known as the Geisterklamm or Ghost Gorge – immediately understands why it has its name. Hell's Water and Ghost Pools, the Witch's Cauldron and Devil's Water: the roar of the rushing water, the damp rocks and the light filtering through the narrow gap create an atmosphere that feels unlike any ordinary walk. Since summer 2023, the gorge has delighted visitors with a newly designed themed trail – stories of the gorge spirit, games for children and fascinating nature facts await on four different routes. And the best part: entry is free.
Leutasch is not a place you simply pass through. It's a place you keep coming back to.
