Mountain Beach is a leisure park situated in Gemeinde Gaschurn, a well-known winter sports resort. The park was designed to attract visitors in the summer season, providing a variety of amenities and activities for both adults and children.
At the heart of the park are two natural swimming ponds, connected by a stream. The stream offers a unique attraction for visitors, as they can go rafting on air mattresses. The ponds themselves are versatile, serving as ice skating rinks during the winter months, which adds to the year-round appeal of Mountain Beach.
In addition to water activities, the park offers beach volleyball and water playgrounds for visitors to enjoy. A diving tower adds an adventurous element, while an island with a suspension bridge and a water ferry and cable car provide extra excitement and exploration opportunities.
Mountain Beach is nestled amidst the mountains, providing a scenic outdoor location that's perfect for cooling down after engaging in activities such as alpine hikes. The two lakes and the tubing river running between them enhance the natural charm of the place, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers.
While the park is family-friendly, it's particularly popular among children due to the presence of an open-air pool. Some visitors have raised concerns about the proximity of the park to high tension electricity lines, however, many still find Mountain Beach an enjoyable place to visit owing to its natural beauty and the wide range of activities it offers.
Despite the concern, Mountain Beach has received recognition for its beauty and appeal, winning the Austrian State Tourism Award in 2003. It's also been ranked as one of the most beautiful natural pools in Austria.
As for accessibility, the park is located in Gemeinde Gaschurn, making it relatively easy to reach for those visiting the resort.
