3 Family Hikes in Fiss – by Apartment House in Fiss

Three themed trails, countless stories, and a new adventure every day.

Published on July 16, 2026

Some children want to meet witches. Others prefer to go on a treasure hunt or explore a mysterious treehouse. The great thing is: In the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis hiking area, you don’t have to choose just one.

The Witches’ Trail, the Pirates’ Trail, and the Explorer’s Path are among the most popular family hikes in the region. Each trail tells its own story and combines movement in nature with exciting riddles, small tasks, and lots of fun. That’s why hiking with children here in Fiss often brings joy even to older kids.

After an eventful day, it’s nice to return to accommodation where the whole family feels comfortable. Our Apartment House Sonnenterrasse offers spacious family holiday apartments with plenty of room, practical extras for babies and toddlers, as well as a playground, a trampoline, and many opportunities for playing right at the house.

Thanks to our central location in the heart of Fiss and just a few steps below the cable car, you are right in the middle of the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis hiking area. This way, you can start every day of your holiday completely relaxed – and perhaps the next adventure awaits tomorrow.

1. Family Themed Trail “Explorer’s Path” – Exciting Family Hike in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis

There are hikes where the destination is almost secondary. The Explorer’s Path in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis is definitely one of them. Along the 3.4 kilometers, there is so much to discover that children often don’t even notice how quickly time passes.

The path mostly leads through the forest and connects the Water Hiking Trail with the Faltriweg. Giant snails, artfully designed figures, and the multi-story treehouse make this family hike a small adventure. Those who pay attention will constantly find new clues along the way and solve the explorer’s riddles step by step.

You can get the corresponding riddle booklet with stickers at the cable car ticket offices or in the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis information offices. Alternatively, you can explore the Explorer’s Path conveniently via the SFL app. Once all tasks are solved, a certificate awaits the little explorers as a reward.

2. Family Themed Trail “Pirates’ Trail” – on a treasure hunt in the middle of the mountains

What is a pirate ship doing in the middle of the forest? That’s exactly the question you’ll explore on the Pirates’ Trail in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis. The treasure hunt begins after the very first meters, as objects that are said to have gone overboard during a fierce storm appear everywhere along the route.

Sometimes you’ll discover an anchor, then a barrel or the crow’s nest. Those who follow the tracks carefully will eventually stand before the ghost ship of Captain Pepper and his sailor Chili. But the adventure doesn’t end there. Now it’s time to find out where the pirate has hidden his treasure – and what’s actually inside it.

The approximately 2.3-kilometer family hike begins at Murmliwasser and is ideal for anyone who wants to solve riddles, search, and discover together while hiking with children. You can get the riddle booklet with the matching stickers at the cable car ticket offices and in the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis information offices. Alternatively, you can explore the Pirates’ Trail with the SFL app. Once all tasks are solved, a certificate awaits the children as a souvenir of this adventure.

Our family holiday apartment is the ideal starting point for your family holiday. Thanks to its central location in the heart of Fiss and just a few steps below the cable car, you can reach the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis hiking area completely relaxed. This leaves more time for what the children are most looking forward to: the next family hike.
For many families, these themed trails are simply part of their summer holiday in Fiss every year.

3. Family Themed Trail “Witches’ Trail” – Witches, Riddles, and a House That’s Upside Down

Sometimes, just one step into the forest and suddenly everything feels a little mysterious. This exact feeling accompanies you on the Witches’ Trail in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis. Between trees, small paths, and unusual sounds, a new surprise awaits around every corner.

The family hike begins at the middle station of the Schönjochbahn in Fiss and leads towards Kuhalm. Along the way, you’ll encounter fairies, elves, and of course, witches. The children solve tricky riddles, balance over obstacles, and gradually discover the story of the witch Peppina Glockenkuss. At the end, the most extraordinary photo opportunity on the trail awaits: a witch’s house that has landed upside down on the ground.

You can get the riddle booklet with colorful stickers at the cable car ticket offices and in the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis information offices. Those who successfully master all tasks can then collect their certificate – a lovely souvenir of this special family hike.

It’s precisely these kinds of experiences that make a family holiday in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis so special.

What makes our Apartment House so special for your children’s summer holiday?

Sometimes it’s not the big excursions that children remember later.

Often, weeks later, they still talk about the swing in the garden, the trampoline on the roof, or a game of table tennis against Mom and Dad.

• That’s exactly why we designed our Apartment House Sonnenterrasse so that families feel comfortable from the very first day of their holiday. Our spacious family apartments offer separate bedrooms, a cozy eat-in kitchen, and enough space for everyone to have their freedom. Especially after a family hike in the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis hiking area, it’s nice to simply end the day together.
• For families with babies and toddlers, we can provide many practical items upon request – from a baby bathtub and changing mat to a night light and bottle warmer. This leaves more space in the car for what’s truly important on a family holiday.
• There’s also plenty to discover around the house. In the garden, swings, a sandpit, a slide, a climbing wall, and a football goal await little holiday guests. The trampoline on the rooftop terrace and the table tennis table in the annex ensure that there’s no boredom between excursions.
• Our family holiday apartment is centrally located, right in the center of Fiss and just a few steps below the cable car. This puts you right in the heart of the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis hiking area, allowing you to start every holiday day completely relaxed with a new family hike.

For cozy summer evenings, an outdoor grill with comfortable seating areas is available. And after dinner, there’s usually only one topic at the garden table: what adventure awaits tomorrow.
