The Tux Giant
Description
A legendary family tour
We immerse ourselves in the Zillertal world of legends and go in search of traces of the Tux Giant. Accompanied by a hiking guide, a well-known storyteller takes us to very special locations. We even follow the giant deep into the mountain and explore part of the Spannagel cave. The giant is said to have dug this cave with his own hands. The supernatural power of the giant also created the massive ice world of the glacier. The tour therefore takes us by gondola up to 3,250 m to the panoramic terrace. The tour is only available in German! Participation of children from 6 years and 1.20 m height. Important for the Spannagelhöhle: no claustrophobia! Good equipment required: hiking boots, sun protection, jacket and hat!
