HOPSILAND PLANAI

Hopsiland Planai – Fun, Games & Mountain Adventures for Families

Since 1982, Hopsi, the World Championship mascot, has been a true hero for our youngest guests. His home is high up on the Planai: Hopsiland – the mountain playground where every adventure wish comes true.

Hopsiland and its playground facilities

Open the panorama >>



You will be greeted by Hopsi right at the gondola exit: Here is also his first playground with swings, slides, a sun-protected sandpit and, of course, seating for the grown-ups!



So that the hike doesn't get too long for little legs, we start right away with exciting marble runs. You can get the original wooden Hopsi marble either at the valley station of the gondola at the Planai Infopoint or directly from the vending machine at the Hopsi Express. 





When it gets really hot in summer, the water world promises to cool you down on the mountain: dam up the water, cool your toes in the mountain water and mum and dad can watch from the many benches. The cosy terrace of the Märchenwiesenhütte is also located here - so refreshments are also provided!



Good to know





Skill is required in our alpine motor skills park: who can balance the fastest over milk stools and milk cans, swing along the cow and keep their balance on the rakes or scythes? 









Kids programme in Hopsiland

During the summer holidays, a varied children's programme is offered at different stations in Hopsiland. Hopsi surprises its guests each week with a varied and entertaining programme that never lets boredom set in. 

The little adventurers can have the designs of their choice painted at the children's face painting, create their own Hopsi T-shirt or paint on rocks. Creative decorations can be made with Hopsi mask making, while skill is required when playing Jenga. The glitter tattoos are a sparkling highlight that will remind the children of their special visit for a long time to come.

With this programme, Hopsi on the Planai offers unforgettable moments full of fun and creativity for young and old.



Restaurants & huts in Hopsiland

Directly in Hopsiland, 6 restaurants and huts offer you Styrian delicacies and Austrian cosiness. What could be nicer than watching the children run around and play while sitting comfortably on a terrace?
