The 4*S Children's Hotel in Zell am See

When children are laughing outside and parents can finally breathe a sigh of relief, everything is just right.

We are the Segl family. And we know what a family vacation really needs: activities that kids will love. Space for parents to have some time to themselves. And moments that everyone can enjoy together. Zell am See-Kaprun is perfect for that. So are we.

For the little ones. And for everyone who’s still a little bit of a kid at heart.

ALPI Club

For children ages 3 to 8, Monday through Friday, year-round. Sand, mud, water. And children’s eyes that light up. Our ALPI playground, the barefoot trail, and the ponies are waiting. The little ones are in good hands. So parents can truly relax.

Cool Kids Fun

For children ages 5 to 11, Monday through Friday, and daily during the summer. No two days are alike. Field trips around the region, outdoor adventures, and experiences that will stay with them for a long time to come. Our counselors make sure the energy never runs out. So parents can enjoy the day just as fully—just in a different way.

Teenager Summerdays

For teens ages 12 to 16, 5 days a week, during the summer. Climbing, biking, stand-up paddleboarding. A different activity every day, always with like-minded friends. Because at this age, vacation doesn’t mean sitting on the patio with your parents. It means finally getting to do the things you don’t have time for at home.

Rejuvenation. For the whole family.

Pool and spa for the whole family

140 m² of water, with direct access from the indoor pool to the outdoor pool, offering panoramic views of the mountains. Every Tuesday and Friday, we open the sauna to the whole family. Children under 16 are welcome. On all other days, the sauna area is reserved for adults 16 and older.

In the summer, the wellness garden features a stream for splashing around and a Kneipp facility.

For teens too

Anyone who’s been out and about in the mountains all day deserves more than just a hot shower in the evening. Our Teen Treatments take care of the skin, and the Teen Massage takes care of the rest. Gentle, effective, and just right for teens aged 12 to 16.

No weather can stop the fun.

Outside

Right outside the hotel, there’s a world that will captivate children. The sand and mud play area, the treehouse, the climbing wall, the stilt house, and the sensory trail invite them to explore, run around, and marvel. No need to go anywhere, no car, no waiting. Just step outside and get started.

Inside

When the clouds roll in outside, the fun just keeps going inside. Playcastle offers air hockey, foosball, table tennis, video game consoles, and VR headsets. It’s a place where kids forget they actually wanted to go outside—and parents forget they actually wanted some peace and quiet.

Together

The interactive game table brings the whole family together around one table. Playing together, laughing together, winning together. Or losing. For kids, teens, and parents alike. Sometimes it’s precisely these unplanned moments that stay with us the longest.

The vacation begins all over again at the table.

In the morning

Breakfast isn’t just a formality here. It’s the first delightful moment of the day. From 7:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., a gourmet breakfast buffet awaits, featuring organic egg dishes, regional cheese specialties, fresh herbs, crispy pastries, and freshly brewed coffee. The kids rush to the buffet. The parents grab a coffee first. And somewhere in between, a great day of vacation begins.

In the evening

Six courses to round out the day. From 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., evenings unfold that last longer than planned. Regional cuisine, fresh daily, with a vegan option. The kids have their own children’s buffet, complemented by an ice cream buffet in the summer. Conversations that linger. One more glass. And the satisfying feeling that everyone is full and happy.

Just one check-in. Around 40 experiences.
