At the Schönjoch mountain above Fiss, a mine is located, it is said that this mine houses the golden heart of a giant.

Mountains, treasures, giants and gnomes, an irresistible combination for sagas and legends. In the child-friendly region of Serfaus-Fiss-Laids, an adventure playground with a children’s mine was opened in 2017: the Kinder Bergwerk Fiss (Children’s Mine Fiss). What it’s about?

The legend says, that a long time ago a giant lived in the Fiss Mountains who was called “Golden Man”. More and more he grew together with the surrounding mountains until he turned into stone himself. And right in the middle of it, his heart of gold could be found. Also the gnomes searched for the golden heart until such time as they turned into stone themselves by the breath of the “Golden Man”. And this stone pit was converted into a particular paradise to play.

Here on the Schönjoch at 2,600 m asl, accessible by the Schönjochbahn cable car, you can find play stations, balancing devices, climbing spots, slides, swings, a labyrinth and an adventure tunnel in a cave. An unforgettable experience in the Fiss Mountains! Also the “The Golden Man Path”, a theme trail suitable for prams, starts at the Children’s Mine Fiss and leads past 11 interactive stations to the mountain station of the cable car (about 30 minutes). Dwards, gnomes, lynxes and eagles await you along the path…
