Suitable for families with children

Family verdict

Go with kids 3–17 for the ropeway and paddle boating — both are concrete highlights that will engage them. The winding road access is the main concern, so keep motion-sickness medication handy and plan shorter travel days. Strollers won't work here, so leave them behind and bring a carrier for younger kids if needed.

Why this rating?

  • Ropeway
  • Lake boating
  • Step garden
