The Bizat Hut in Ahrntal Valley – A True Family Paradise

A visit to the Bizat Hut has become a must for us (and especially for our children) whenever we go on holiday in the Ahrntal Valley. The playground is nestled in the forest and features many lovingly designed play equipment, all based around fairy-tale themes. Even we adults enjoy searching for the little dwarf houses in the rocks or visiting the tree witch in the magical forest. There’s also a pond with fish and ducks (please don’t feed them!) and a small rabbit hutch.

The hut can be reached via several routes.

Longer route, not suitable for strollers

If you’d like a longer hike, park your car at the free parking area located on the bend above Hotel Molin. From there, follow the signs for “Bizathütte” and “Hexensteig”. The trail starts with a steep climb through the forest. After about 20 minutes, you can take a short detour to the spectacular Frankbach Waterfall or continue along the Hexensteig.

After around 40 minutes of walking, the actual adventure trail begins. Along the way, you’ll pass a giant musical chime, a climbing wall, the Bear Cave with its exciting underground tunnel system, the spinning Witch’s Chair, and finally the large stone man and the bear family. The adventure trail to the Bizathütte takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes in total.

Shorter route, stroller-friendly

For a shorter route or if you want to bring a stroller, you can simply park at a parking lot above Mühlegg and walk for 20 minutes along a forest road, where you’ll also pass the Stone Man and Bear Family toward the end.

The Sun Witch at Bizat Hütte

In the summer, the Sun Witch visits the Bizat Hut every Saturday and brings a small surprise for the children. I recommend getting there early, as the hut has become a popular destination and is quite busy during the summer, even on weekdays.

Here you’ll find more information, as well as the opening hours for the Bizat hut.
