Extremely beautiful place , we couldn’t sledge down cause of the rain unfortunately but the lady at the ticket office is really rude .
Shamim Ashrafiyan
It’s was really nice and breathtaking. You can have a round walk around the lake. There is one cafe and one cafe and restaurant close by which can drink, eat and enjoy the nature.

The luge looks amazing but unfortunately few people get to enjoy it as they shut it down as soon as there is any indication of rain, which is very often here. So you pay for several rides on the luge but they scam you out of your money by shutting it down and refusing you your money back. But if you are lucky and the weather stays good it is a beautiful place.

Beautiful spot! Up on the mountain you will find cows hanging out and enjoying the view as well an unique water play park, everything is kept neat and clean. There are three little lakes with a stunning view and a restaurant (which closes at 5pm).

When is the best time to visit Serlesbahnen (Innsbruck, Austria)?
In summer, wildflowers bloom along the reservoir path and the water play area is open. In winter, check that the barrier-free trail is cleared of snow and bundle up the baby in warm layers.
