Weekly programme for July and August

Every week from 10:00 am at the MTB Skills Park Viehhofen, it’s time to hop on your bike and kick off the week with some fun. During this playful mountain biking adventure, children gain their first experiences on two wheels, practise their MTB basics safely and discover the joy of being active. Small obstacles, bends and varied challenges ensure an active morning out in nature.

With the Viehhofen Glückscard, children’s bikes are free of charge, while stocks last.

This tour is ideal for anyone who wants to get to know downhill biking and gradually build confidence on trails. Experienced guides teach the most important basics with calm, clarity, and a strong sense of safety on the bike.

In the morning, the focus is on skills training in the Learn to Ride Park. You’ll practise body position, braking, cornering techniques, and developing a feel for flow. In the afternoon, the first real downhill run follows – supported by the lift, at a relaxed pace and with clear guidance along the way.

Whether participation in the afternoon programme is possible is decided individually by the guide, based on safety considerations.

Every Tuesday afternoon, we set off on a discovery tour through the woods with our experienced trail guide, passing exciting stops and little curiosities along the way.

During the tour, children who love nature learn lots of interesting facts about the local flora and fauna – in a fun, engaging way that celebrates the outdoors.

This gentle walk, lasting around 2 to 2,5 hours, focuses on local wild herbs and their versatile uses. Along the way, we will discover, identify and examine a wide variety of plants and herbs together. The walk covers identification, foraging and preparation, as well as their use in cooking and traditional herbal knowledge.

Each walk has a different focus, tailored to the weather and the season. However, the basics of collecting, drying and processing are always covered, as are well-known year-round herbs such as stinging nettle, ground ivy, dandelion and ribwort plantain.

During the walk, we will also collect some ingredients, which we will then process together into a herbal product.

As the sun slowly disappears behind the mountains and twilight descends on Viehhofen, a particularly peaceful and atmospheric time begins in the village. A leisurely evening stroll through Viehhofen or along the Saalach invites you to round off the day in a relaxed atmosphere.

Along the way, the guide shares interesting facts about the village – from the early days of Viehhofen to the region’s historic copper mining. In this way, the walk combines peaceful moments in nature with fascinating insights into the village’s history.

The mountainous landscape around Viehhofen can be explored in a particularly relaxed and varied way on guided hikes.

Accompanied by an experienced hiking guide, we set off every week at 8:30 am on new routes – sometimes to the sunny side of Viehhofen, sometimes to scenic trails offering beautiful panoramic views from the Schmittenhöhe. This provides an active way to spend time in nature whilst gaining fascinating insights into the region.

Every Thursday, the Berggasthof Hecherhütte invites you to a cosy barbecue evening at 1.250 metres above sea level. Surrounded by the impressive mountain scenery of the Glemmtal valley, this is a special place for enjoyable summer evenings.

Freshly grilled specialities, regional ingredients and the rustic atmosphere of the hut ensure a relaxing time with family and friends. As the sun slowly disappears behind the mountains and the view stretches far across the Glemmtal valley, the evening becomes an atmospheric experience.

The E-Bike Panorama Tour always starts in the morning at 10:00 am and takes you on an active ride through the mountainous landscape around Viehhofen, past beautiful vantage points offering sweeping panoramic views of the Alps. 

The tour combines exercise in the fresh air with a relaxing experience of nature and is ideal for anyone wishing to explore the region on two wheels. With an e-bike, even longer climbs can be tackled comfortably, leaving plenty of time along the way to enjoy the views and soak up the special atmosphere of the mountain landscape.

At the village evening in Viehhofen, the traditional brass band provides the perfect musical backdrop at the bandstand. With traditional brass band music and a lively atmosphere, the evening becomes a special gathering place for visitors and locals alike.

The local heritage group also helps to bring the evening to life, showcasing the region’s living traditions through Schuhplattler dancing and yodelling.

A leisurely walk accompanied by friendly goats leads from the Vorderbichlhof up to the alpine pasture.

Along the way through meadows and woods, you’ll gain an insight into farm life, nature and how the animals are cared for. A relaxing experience for families and anyone who wants to explore the mountains at a gentle pace and close to nature.
