Family vacations can be different

You know the feeling.
Our insider tips

5 things that make a family vacation truly unforgettable.

Kinder am Schiefergut Flachau
For stable whisperers
Tip 01
There is a moment that parents never forget. The moment when children feed animals for the first time. When the little hand trembles. When the animal comes closer. When excitement suddenly turns into silence — and then a smile that no photo can truly capture.

This happens in our children’s stable. Every day. All by itself.

Barefoot in the straw. The smell of hay and wood. The quiet breathing of the animals in the morning. Children who suddenly whisper — because they feel that this moment is special. Here, children don’t learn about animals. They experience them.

Our tip: Go to the stable early in the morning — before the day begins. The animals are calmer. The children are too. And the moments that arise then stay with you forever.
Kinder sammeln Frühstückseier ein
For farm detectives
Tip 02
Where does the bread on your table come from? Who brought the milk? What’s behind the jar of jam that tastes so different from the one at home? Children ask these questions — if you give them the space to do so.

Our Dorfladen is not a supermarket. It is a place where origins become visible. Regional harvests. Handmade products. Here, children become detectives. They discover that behind every product is a person, an animal — and a story.

And suddenly the bread doesn’t just taste good.
It tastes special.

Our tip: Let your children choose for themselves what goes on the breakfast table. It tastes twice as good that way. Promised.
Kinder spielen in der Wiese
For meadow researchers
Tip 03
A meadow is a universe for little explorers.

In summer, full of meadow flowers that first smell like nothing — and then like everything. Beetles that children can watch for hours. Barefoot paths that show how the earth feels — warm, soft, alive. And a natural swimming pond where water striders dance and frogs croak.

In winter, this universe becomes quiet. The meadow glitters under fine frost, stalks wear ice crystals like little crowns. Children follow animal tracks in the snow — deer, hares, birds — and become quiet researchers.

Our tip: Take an empty jar with you to the meadow. Children always find something that belongs inside — and the conversations about it are often the best of the day.

For alpine scouts
Tip 04
There are moments on a hike when you stop thinking — and just look. At the mountains. At the vastness. At the panorama that opens up as soon as you’ve made the final ascent.

A path in the mountains is not a sight to see. It is an invitation — to slowness. To vastness. To breathing deeply.

In summer, soft grass, warm light, and the scent of the earth. In winter, clear air, the crunch of snow, and a silence that feels almost holy. Huts that you reach and stay in — longer than planned. Paths that ask nothing of you except to walk along.

Our tip: Ask us for paths that really suit you — according to age, pace, and what you’re looking for. We know every one of them personally.

For mountain explorers
Tip 05
Some things can’t be explained. You have to feel them.

The mountain air that makes everything lighter with the first breath. The light, which is different here — softer, clearer. The silence, which doesn’t feel empty — but full.

This isn’t a program. This is simply what happens — when a place creates space.

Our tip: Plan the first day without a schedule. Just arrive. Feel. The rest will follow naturally.
Schiefergut Family Resort 4-Sterne Hotel in Flachau im Winter
For families – The Schiefergut
Looking for a place that makes all this possible?
Simon and Martina Schiefer are rooted in Flachau. They know every path. Every sunrise. Every animal on the farm.

And they knew: If we create a place for families, it has to be real. Honest. And full of life. No entertainment program. No staging. But a place where children feel the real thing. And parents can arrive.

Between the children’s stable and the natural swimming pond, between the Dorfladen and the Dorfalm — a place is being created for everyone who knows what real life feels like.
