Kids Indoor Park Areit 1400: Alpine Adventure Playground at 1400m

Gateway to Schmittenhöhe Adventures

The Kids Indoor Park Areit 1400 sits at the bergstation of the areitXpress gondola on Schmittenhöhe, elevating visitors to 1400 meters above Zell am See. This strategic spot serves as a launchpad for winter skiing across 77km of pistes or summer hikes like Schmidolins Feuertaufe trail. What sets it apart is its evolution from an oldtimer museum showcasing vintage vehicles into a dynamic indoor play zone, blending alpine access with family entertainment.

Indoor Thrills for All Ages

Inside, the park buzzes with purpose-built attractions tailored for kids and teens. A sprawling rutschautostrecke slide mimics a racetrack, twisting through the space for exhilarating descents. Adjacent, a massive hüpfburg bouncy castle invites boundless jumping, while the crawler park challenges young adventurers with climbing nets, tunnels, and obstacle courses demanding agility and teamwork. Older youth gravitate to the gamecorner, equipped with billiard tables and interactive gaming stations for competitive play.

Weatherproof Family Escape

Designed as a schlechweatherprogramm, the indoor park thrives when fog, rain, or snow blankets the peaks outside. Its spacious layout encourages physical exertion, helping children burn energy in a safe, supervised environment amid panoramic mountain views. Parents appreciate the respite, knowing kids are engaged while they relax nearby, perhaps sipping drinks with vistas of the Salzachtal valley stretching toward Kaprun.

Integration with Mountain Pursuits

Positioned steps from the AreitLounge, the park complements a day on Schmittenhöhe. In winter, families arrive via the 10-person areitXpress cabins, warmed by seat heaters and offering WiFi during the quick 7-minute ascent from Schüttdorf. Summer brings e-motocross tracks and playgrounds nearby, making Areit 1400 a versatile stop. The site's history as a museum echoes in subtle nods to its automotive past, adding layers to the play experience.

Alpine Vibe and Practical Flow

Expect a lively, echoing atmosphere filled with laughter and the thud of feet on padded floors, framed by the rugged Schmittenhöhe terrain. The park's transformation reflects local commitment to year-round family tourism, turning potential downtime into memorable highs. Whether pausing mid-ski day or seeking a full outing, it captures Zell am See's blend of accessibility and authentic mountain spirit.
