Theme hikes

It was around noon, and the sun shone brightly over the dwarf village in the mountains. The children were playing and laughing like every day at this time. Pina and her friends Timo, Rick and Lolo played hide and seek near the old oak tree. "What is this?" Timo shouted and pointed to a red shimmering under the moss. Experience the story about the secret of the sparkling stone. The story begins at the top station of this cable car and takes you to different places on Bannalp. Enjoy this enchanting children's hiking trail in a breathtaking mountain landscape. Lunch on the way is no problem. The Zwärgliweg leads past the fireplaces directly at the Bannalpsee. At the mouth of the mountain stream into the Bannalpsee there is a wood supply for the barbecue sites. Ask at the cash desk for the cheap family tickets. We wish you lots of excitement and a relaxing time at Bannalp.
