The Katschberg cable cars take you high up to the summit adventure on the Aineck, where "Katschi's Almspielplatz" and the first Lungau ball track on the Aineck await young adventurers! Connected by an exciting slope tube slide, you can experience exciting family adventures on the ball track and the alpine playground.
