2. How the Family Run works
01 – Get your stamp card
You can pick up your Family Run stamp card at the ticket offices at the valley stations in Flachauwinkl and Kleinarl. It lists all 19 stations. Participation is free and included with your ski pass.
02 – Find the Crazy Dolls
Follow the route along the blue slopes and wide ski trails. At each of the 19 stations, you'll find a life-size Crazy Shuttleberg Doll with a hole punch.
03 – Punch your stamp card
Use the hole punch to mark the corresponding spot on your card. With each station, your card fills up.
04 – Collect your reward
Hand in your completed stamp card at a ticket office in Flachauwinkl or Kleinarl. As a reward, you'll receive a little Crazy Shuttleberg Dolls surprise.
Go digital with the app: Instead of using a stamp card, you can also use the Family Run app. Simply scan the QR code or visit family-run.shuttleberg.com. Once you've completed all 19 stations, collect your little reward at the ticket office in Flachauwinkl or Kleinarl.
3. Why does playful skiing work so well for children?
Children stay motivated for longer when there is something to discover along the way. That's exactly what makes the Family Run special: instead of simply skiing from one lift to the next, the next Crazy Doll becomes the goal.
What makes the difference:
- A clear goal: Finding the next station motivates children to keep going for the next run.
- Small achievements: Every punch on the stamp card is a visible sign of progress.
- Together as a team: Parents and children explore the mountain together.
- Learning along the way: Children ski a variety of blue slopes and trails, gradually building confidence.
The Family Run combines exercise, discovery and shared experiences. It's not about speed, but about having fun on the slopes.
4. Who is the Family Run suitable for?
The Family Run is ideal for families whose children can confidently ski blue slopes. The 19 km route is quite long, but you can ski it in stages and spread it over several days.
The lifts are also designed with children in mind: at Shuttleberg, all lifts are chairlifts with flat exit areas. The Lumberjack Shuttle features a conveyor belt with a lifting platform at the entrance and a self-locking safety bar.
Time for a break: The SunHouse at the mid-station in Flachauwinkl offers a comic cinema, sofas, hot water dispensers and a sun terrace. The ChillHouse at the valley station of the Absolut Park Shuttle features chill-out areas, a bouldering wall and a mini skate ramp.
