1. Excursion to the water: cooling off at lakes, streams and waterfalls
On warm summer days, an excursion to the water is almost always on the holiday list. Around Mittersill, mountain lakes, natural streams, and impressive water experiences await you. A special highlight is the Krimml Waterfalls: they are considered the largest waterfalls in Europe and have a drop of 380 m.
For families, a water excursion is ideal because nature, activity, and wonder come together. Couples enjoy the powerful landscape, the fresh air, and beautiful photo moments. Our tip: Allow plenty of time and combine your trip with a cosy stop for refreshments.

The mix of easy walking paths, family-friendly themed trails, and scenic mountain tours is particularly appealing. This means every type of holidaymaker will find the right route: relaxed, active, or sporty. With the National Park Summer Card, guests also benefit from many free or discounted attractions in the region.


3. Family adventure in summer: excursions for children and adults
A summer holiday with children should be uncomplicated, exciting, and still relaxing. The region offers plenty of options for exactly that: playgrounds, themed trails, cable cars, outdoor pools, and adventure activities ensure there is never a dull moment. The Resterkogel summer experience, for example, offers a tubing run, climbing wall, Bobby Car race track, trampolines, an XXL sandpit, and a Kneipp pool.
From our hotel, many destinations can be easily planned as a full-day or half-day trip. This is especially practical for families who want to stay flexible: an adventure in the morning, relaxation in the afternoon, and a good meal together in the evening.
4. Indulgence in Mittersill: regional, cosy and close by
A summer holiday in the Salzburg region can be culinary, too. Right here at Hotel Heitzmann, we spoil you with regional cuisine, homemade dishes, and a seasonal daily menu.
A leisurely stroll around the town square is also well worth it. The Mittersill weekly market takes place from May to September on Fridays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the town square and offers local delicacies as well as regional products. This quickly turns a day of your holiday into a relaxed experience between the market, coffee, a stroll, and dinner.


5. Bad-weather tip: enjoy summer holidays even in the rain
Even in the mountains, the weather can sometimes change. Good to know: In and around Mittersill, there are many ways to make rainy days enjoyable. The region recommends the National Park Worlds Mittersill, among other options, as a bad-weather programme and visitor highlight.
For families, this is ideal because knowledge, wonder, and a nature experience can be combined regardless of the weather. Couples often use rainy days for culture, wellness or a quiet afternoon. Back at our hotel, relaxation awaits with a sauna, steam bath, and an alpine feel-good atmosphere.
