Fun and games at the hotel
Straight after breakfast to the tennis court? Or perhaps a game of beach volleyball in the sun first? In and around our hotel, there are plenty of ways to make each day active, varied and full of fun.
The heart of the hotel
Huge Adventure Hall
Across 1,700 m², children can run, climb, play and laugh – every day, all year round and whatever the weather. It may sound like something from Pippi Longstocking’s Villa Villekulla, but it is very real here in our hotel’s own Adventure Hall. As the largest of its kind in Austria, it offers 38 attractions and plenty of variety for every age, from little ones to teens. Parents are very welcome too.
Game, set, fun

Alongside classic beach volleyball, the sand court and mountain setting are also perfect for beach football, beach speedminton, beach badminton and beach mini badminton. A wonderful holiday experience at Sonngastein – with the Alps all around you.
Out in the fresh air

Right in front of the hotel, a sunny outdoor playground of around 300 m² offers plenty of play equipment:
- Double swing
- Wave slide
- Rope ladder, climbing ramp & climbing wall
- Wobbly bridge
- Corkscrew & fireman’s pole
Icy winter fun
“Ice stock sport” – Austrian sport like curling right at the hotel
On the hotel’s own curling lane at Sonngastein, winter is all about aiming, cheering and laughing together. A classic Alpine winter activity right on your doorstep – sociable, easy-going and great fun for the whole family.
Never miss a big match
Sports fun on the XL screen
The Champions League final, the German Bundesliga or the Tour de France: if you don’t want to miss your favourite sport on holiday, our Fit & Relax room is the place to be. Selected international sports broadcasts are shown every evening on an XL screen, with drinks service included.
Jump into fun
Water fun at Sonngastein
At some point, you stop counting how many laps the children have done. Jump in, splash about, climb out – and straight back in again. Outside, heated pools with bubble jets await; inside, you can swim in soothing Gastein thermal water with underwater music. Paradise for children. Relaxation for parents too.
