Holidays with teenagers in Austria
Where to take the teens for adventure, luxury and freedom?
Planning a holiday with teenagers is often a bit of an art. While teenagers want adventure and independence, parents long for peace and comfort. Combining the two seems impossible. Unless you know the Unterschwarzachhof in Saalbach Hinterglemm - a hotel that knows how holidays for families with teenagers in Austria should be: stylish, relaxed and full of possibilities.
Family holidays with teenagers in Austria
Are you wondering where you can spend a holiday with teenagers in Austria that offers freedom - and still unites as a family? Then the Unterschwarzachhof is the right place for you. We'll show you what makes a family holiday with us special - and what teenagers can look forward to.
Highlights at the teen hotel in Saalbach Hinterglemm
Boredom? Not a chance. The Unterschwarzachhof - in the heart of the ‘Home of Lässig’ - combines alpine elegance, casual lifestyle and a colourful range of leisure activities specially tailored to young adventurers. Whether on the ski piste or the bike trail: Saalbach Hinterglemm inspires with action and variety all year round. And the Unterschwarzachhof is right in the middle of it all - the place to be for teens with a spirit of discovery.
Trail time in the bike Eldorado Saalbach Hinterglemm
Anyone who is out and about on two wheels in Saalbach Hinterglemm will immediately realise why the region is known as the Home of Lässig. Over 80 kilometres of varied trails, lines and downhill routes for all levels, plus three practice areas, modern bike parks and highlights such as the GlemmRide Festival make Saalbach a hotspot for freeriders, downhill fans, mountain bikers and gravel bikers.
Especially cool: The flowing Buchegg Line with Northshore elements leads right past the Unterschwarzachhof. And the best thing? Mountain bikes are available free of charge at the hotel, e-bikes for a fee - and downhill bikes can be rented from our partners at a discounted price.
Snow, speed & rays of sunshine
It all starts right outside the hotel: 270 km of perfectly groomed slopes, a fun park with floodlights, night skiing several days a week and a snowtubing route right next to the hotel ensure action in the snow day and night. If you want something even wilder: snowcross quads in the off-road adventure park in Saalbach Hinterglemm offer pure action on snow and ice.
Or would you prefer something more classic, but no less fast-paced? The 3.2 kilometre long toboggan run on the Reiterkogel is easily accessible from the hotel, open daily and even floodlit on selected evenings for night tobogganing with extra style.
Spa vibes included
Water. Warmth. Wide-open Views. Sometimes, that’s all you need. Our 1,500 m² Alpen Spa is the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy some quality time. A heated outdoor pool connected directly to the indoor pool, cosy lounges for teens, and a family sauna where you can all work up a sweat together – everything here makes wellness with teenagers in Austria wonderfully simple. And seriously good.
Chill spots with a view
Favourite place? There's not just one here. Whether in the beach chair with headphones, on the lounge furniture in the orchard, in the herb garden or on the lounge loungers by the outdoor pool - we have plenty of spots where you can relax, switch off and just be by yourself. With no parents in sight.
And what if you fancy a bit of company? You can read, play cards or simply relax in our new hotel library. It's especially chilled out in the evening - at the campfire or barbecue evening at Der Schwarzacher.
Football, table tennis & horse riding
Casually active - that's not a motto here, it's the programme. Those who like to exercise are spoilt for choice at the Unterschwarzachhof: the football field, volleyball court and basketball hoop right next to the hotel are perfect for spontaneous matches. Our spacious riding centre is also just a few steps away from the hotel. And if the weather doesn't play ball? A game of table tennis or a workout session in the hotel gym is always a good idea.
On top: guided hikes to the alpine hut, yoga with a panoramic view, a lively round on the go-kart track or creative flower wreath making - small, fine highlights of our colourful summer programme for teenagers that make a holiday at the Home of Lässig really fun.
Country life up close
Just a few steps from the hotel, real country life is waiting to be discovered. At our mini farm, you’ll find alpacas, sheep, ponies, rabbits, and donkeys – ready to be petted, made friends with, and maybe even sponsored through your own animal sponsorship.
Curious about what modern farming really looks like today? Young farmer Thomas will show you the ropes during tractor rides and alpine duties. And at the weekly alpine breakfast up at the farm, things get truly traditional – with homemade butter, freshly milked milk, and the legendary milking contest with our wooden cow. A real moost-do experience!
