Spruce Tree Castle and Spruce Lake
Next to the Spruce Lake, the Spruce Tree Castle on the Rosenalm shows itself to be magical, fantastic and enchanting! The spruce castle attracts visitors with four accessible towers, slides, a climbing wall, a wooden ball track, a hammock forest and a water and sand play area. There is a buggy-friendly walk around the Fichtensee (Spruce lake). The castle kitchen with its barbecue machine is also great, as is the treetop path.
Best of all: you start directly at the chalet on the forest path. After a 15-minute walk, you reach the gondola lift and take it directly to the attractions or choose the footpath.
Wiesenalm
The new Wiesenalm hut is located in the heart of the Zillertal Arena at the middle station of the Rosenalm cable car and delights in summer and winter with its fantastic view and sunny terrace. Whether you just want to take a leisurely walk with your dog from your luxury chalet or you have earned a good lunch after a conference – the Wiesenalm restaurant is the perfect location for this.
Tip: the 50-year-old chairlift-rondell and the Meisterwurz-bar offer an atmosphere that invites you to linger.
