Family-Friendly Hikes near Vienna

We track 56 routes that match this search near Vienna. They average 4.0 km and 62 m (203 ft) of ascent.

That is 30 percent of the 188 routes we map near Vienna. They are shorter than the local average, 4.0 km against 29.3 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 62 m (203 ft) against 374 m (1,227 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Family routes here are short, gently graded and interesting enough to keep younger legs moving. Every one is under seven kilometres with limited climbing. Most of these are on the gentler end, which makes the list a good starting point if you are new to the area. A good share of them are loops, so you can park once and finish where you started.
