Our Highlights

The wooden cow attracts more than just young guests to Kühtai

One of the world’s largest mother cows with a calf is waiting to be discovered. This giant cow family, located near the DreiSeen Hut, stands 6.5 meters tall and serves as an oversized playground for children. The high-alpine cow family is complemented by three-meter-tall wooden letters. The letters spell out the word “KÜHTAI” and offer opportunities for climbing, swinging, sliding, and playing hide-and-seek.
