Sport, Fun & Adventure

Even in the mountains, it is nice to cool off on a hot summer day with a swim and there are plenty of places to choose from in and around Radstadt:

• Eben swimming lake (approx. 7 km) with water slide, paddling pool, diving area…
• The organically built swimming lake at Seepark in St. Martin (approx. 19 km) with 17,000 m³ of spring water and many attractions
• The refreshingly cool swimming lake at Flachauwinkl (free entry) (approx. 15 km) , directly on the cycle path with a petting zoo, pony rides, adventure park, high ropes course with a 150 m long Flying Fox which goes right across the lake.
• The small Reiteck swimming lake (free entry) in Reitdorf bei Flachau
• The Pichl swimming lake (13 km), one of the cleanest swimming lakes in Styria, just a 12 mins drive from Radstadt
• Small but sweet is the Untertaurer swimming pond above the deer park in Untertauern, a well-known destination for kids or for cycle rides. Just 10 mins drive away.

Most swimming lakes also have kid’s playgrounds, a beach volleyball court as well as a restaurant or hut offerering meals or snacks. Your Salzburger Sportworld Card gives a disount for those lakes with an entry fee in Salzburger Sportworld. The Swimming Lakes Reiteck in Reitdorf and Winkl in Flachauwinkl have free entry.

 

As these lakes are all so nearby, they make good destinations for bike trips. It is not uncommon for the idyllic high alpine lakes to recieve a visit from walkers and bikers looking to cool off.

 

Salzburgerland is well-known for its lakes especially Fuschlsee, Wolfgangsee, Mattsee, Trumer See or Zeller See. All of these lakes are great to visit with their surrounding villages.

 

The Therme Amadé is just 5 km away in Altenmarkt and offers year round swimming fun with a sauna and wellness oasis on the side. Your guest card gives you about 20% discount on a 4-hour pass or a full day card.

Horse riding fans will love Radstadt and the Salzburger Sportworld with its 160 km network of bridleways ranging from 850 m to 2,000 m above sea level, ideal for a fun ride whether it is a gentle trot along the river and through the meadows or a gallop through the forest.

 

There are several riding stables nearby that offer everything from riding on the lunge line pony rides, riding in an arena as well as trail riding.

Fun sports are in fashion, try your hand at mountain carting or summer tobogganing down the mountain. Canyoning lets you abseil over a waterfall, slide down the rocks or jump into a mountain pool. Rafting or kayaking through white water is a real adrenaline rush. Test your courage with climbing or at the high ropes courses or test your skill at the 3-D Archery courses.

 

Why not explore your surroundings on a Segway tour for something new. Our small guests love the mini-quad course or the summer toboggan run on rollercoaster rails.
