“Erlebnisalm Mönichkirchen” in summer

Taking the four-seater chairlift to the roller rink, swing path and cosy huts on the Schwaig

An exciting day of mountain carting or scooter riding for the whole family? Or would you rather spend relaxing hours hiking on the Schwaig? At the “Erlebnisalm Mönichkirchen”, nothing stands in the way of a wonderful day in the mountains.

Just an hour’s drive from Vienna, the Vierer-Sonnenbahn (four-seater sun cable car) takes mountain fans seeking action and relaxation conveniently up to the Mönichkirchner Schwaig. An impressive panorama, fresh air and rustic alpine huts await you at 1,200 metres above sea level in this climatic health resort. Beautiful hiking trails lead up to the “Hochwechsel”. Numerous excursion destinations will ensure unforgettable hours for the whole family.

  • The comfortable 4-seater chairlift takes you to the “Wandern am Wechsel” hiking trail, and on to the “Schwaigen” – as the alpine pastures at Wechsel refer to them – the rustic huts on the Wechsel.
  • Fun for the whole family is offered at the scooter and mountain cart track – the first of its kind in Austria at the time. 10 minutes of driving pleasure on roughly 2.5 km of gravel track complete with waves, steep curves and tunnels promise adrenaline kicks for everyone.
  • Unbeatable arguments for an action-packed day at the Schaukelweg complete with see-saws, merry-go-rounds, slides and much more for fun in the fresh air.
  • On hot days, the water park complete with “Salaërium” is a refreshing experience just waiting to be enjoyed. In addition to the “Water of Life” theme trail, foot touch paths and marshlands, you can enjoy the finest air with a sea-like effect in the “Salaërium”.
  • Relaxation on the mountain is offered in the form of comfortable pendulum seats and hammocks on the “Schaukelweg” trail, as well as the Almschaukel, a viewing platform with a fantastic panorama.
  • The crowning glory of an eventful day in the mountains is the hut dishes served on the sun terraces. Exciting additional offers are provided, for example, by the Berggasthof Mönichkirchner Schwaig mountain inn and the Alpengasthof Enzian inn complete with a donkey petting enclosure, children’s playgrounds and much more.
