Family vacation at the family hotel Bregenzer Wald in summer.

When summer tobogganing on Vorarlberg's largest summer tubing run on the Hahnenkopf in Faschina, safety comes first, closely followed by pure fun.

This is exactly what a family vacation in the Bregenzerwald is all about - carefree moments full of joy and shared experiences!

Vorarlberg's largest forest ropes course in Damüls invites families to discover the forest from a new, exciting perspective. In addition to the fantastic views, great challenges await children and adults alike.

Dancing between the trees, mastering swaying planks, negotiating narrow beams and whizzing through the forest on the zip wire ... The forest ropes course is varied and fun, but above all safe. Every visitor receives certified safety equipment with a climbing harness and helmet, as well as a detailed introduction from the trainer.

No matter how big the challenge, families experience a safe adventure while "scrambling" in the forest: the brave adventurers are always secured with at least one carabiner on the rope, and there is always a trainer on site to help if the fear of heights should ever show itself.

The current opening times and prices can be found on the forest ropes course website.
