Choosing the Best Pyramidenkogel Ticket: Adult, Youth, or Family Pass?

Planning a day at the world’s highest wooden observation tower and not sure which Pyramidenkogel ticket to choose? This guide breaks down every option—adult, youth, child, and money‑saving family passes—plus group rates, the record‑breaking slide, combo deals, and opening times. If you’re staying at Hotel Plattenwirt by Lake Wörthersee, use this to pick the best value before you go.

Pyramidenkogel ticket options at a glance

Below are the official entry prices for the Pyramidenkogel viewing tower, plus add‑ons like the slide. All prices are per person unless noted.

Notes that can save you money:

• Free admission with Kärnten Card (slide and “Fly 100” excluded).
• Combo tickets with Lake Wörthersee boat trips and Minimundus are available (details below).

Who qualifies for each Pyramidenkogel ticket?

• Adult: Standard entry for ages above the child rate.
• Youth (older teens 16–17): Reduced rate of € 11.00.
• Children: 6–15 years at € 8.00; 0–5 years are free.
• Reduced category (€ 11.00): Also applies to people with disabilities, students, military recruits and alternative civilian service.

Family passes: when they deliver the best value

The family “Discount pass” options usually beat buying individual tickets. Here’s how they compare using current prices:

• Discount pass I (2 adults + 1 child 6–15): € 37.00
  Buying separately would be € 17 + € 17 + € 8 = € 42.00.
  Savings: € 5.00 per visit.

• Discount pass II (2 adults + 2 children 6–15): € 40.00
  Buying separately would be € 17 + € 17 + € 8 + € 8 = € 50.00.
  Savings: € 10.00 per visit.

Tip: If you’re a family of three or four within these age ranges, the family passes are the best-priced Pyramidenkogel ticket options.

Group tickets (20+ people)

Group pricing kicks in at 20 paid visitors and can make a big difference for clubs, school groups, or extended families traveling together.

• Adults (20+): € 12.80 per person
• Teens 16–17 (20+): € 8.00 per person
• Children 6–15 (20+): € 6.50 per person

If your headcount is close to 20, it’s worth coordinating arrivals to secure the per‑person group rate.

Add‑on thrills: the record‑breaking slide and Fly 100

The tallest tunnel slide in continental Europe

• Price per slide: € 5.00
• Bundle: € 25.00 for 7 slides (pay 5, get 2 free)
• Length: 120 metres
• Timing & photo: Each slide is timed, and you can get an action photo.
• Operation: Open year‑round, weather‑dependent (the slide does not run in rain or wet conditions).
• Height requirement: Minimum 130 cm. Children cannot slide together with an adult. This TÜV requirement is strictly enforced.

Practical tip: If anyone in your group expects to slide multiple times, the € 25 bundle offers the best per‑ride price.
