Hop into the gondola and delve into prehistory!

How about an exciting journey back in time? In the Triassic Park on the Steinplatte Waidring, dinos, corals and ammonites thrill explorers young and old - whatever the weather! Where the popular Steinplatte skiing and hiking area is today, the primordial sea Tethys was located 200 million years ago. The Triassic Park offers primeval fun for the whole family with the Triassic Centre, Triassic Beach, Triassic Trail, viewing platform, Fischer's Coral Garden and the Dripstone Cave. This summer, we're bringing the past even more vividly into the future: experience what it's like to stand next to a full-size dinosaur with augmented reality. And there is no shortage of new-age fun such as hiking, climbing and biking too! So, there’s nothing like going up to the Steinplatte and spending some unforgettable moments in prehistoric times!

How did the Triassic get its name? What actually is karst? And what do corals look like close up? Of course, you could google the answers but it’s much more exciting to tackle the ‘Triassic Trail’ with its many stations and vantage points and all the tricky puzzles and giant prehistoric reef. An exciting circular hiking trail for the whole family (approx. 4 km, 210 metres of difference in elevation) with a lot to learn about the amazing world of dinosaurs. But that’s not all: the ‘Mini Sea’ is home to the 30m long dino tube slide, just waiting to be discovered. And there are plenty of treasures buried at the ‘Triassic Beach’ – the highest altitude sandy beach in the Alps. The low ropes course with its obstacle course is a source of endless fun and the 70m high coral-shaped viewing platform offers pure goose bumps!
 
What to do when it rains? Simple: head to the ‘Triassic Center’ and learn all about the ABC of geology. The latest multi-media technology and life-sized dinosaurs transform complex facts into easy-to-digest information bites – whatever the weather. The latest attraction is a dripstone cave which leads visitors into the depths of prehistory. By the way: die-hard dinosaur fans can even celebrate their dinosaur birthday party here!

The Steinplatte Waidring offers history fans 200 million years of fun but there is also plenty for Alpine adventurers to enjoy too such as mountaineers, mountain bikers, mountain lodge fans, via ferrata enthusiasts and Alpine climbers.

The Steinplatte-Winklmoosalm is located in the „Dreiländereck“ Tyrol-Salzburg-Bayern and is easily accessible from both Austria and Germany: on the Austrian side from Waidring in Tirol a 15-man gondola brings you to the top – on the German side you can take the road from Seegatterl/Reit im Winkl to the top. Right smack in the middle of the mountains, located on a beautiful, sunny plateau.
