The new travel trend
What is Multi Generational Travel?
Travelling with the whole family sounds like chaos? Don’t worry, we’re not talking about fights over the remote control, but about multigenerational travel – a trend that brings parents, children and grandparents together. At a time when WhatsApp groups often provide our only family update, this trend offers a real opportunity to create shared memories.
Why is this so popular? Well, there’s nothing better than sharing expenses (thanks, grandma!) while exploring exotic locations. From lazing on the beach to exciting adventures, there’s something for everyone. Sounds like a holiday we all deserve, doesn’t it?
What exactly does this new travel trend mean?
Multi-generational travel, an emerging travel trend, describes travelling together with several generations such as grandparents, parents and children. Instead of the classic small family holidays, we are experiencing trips that not only strengthen family ties, but also connect the generations through shared experiences. Sharing the cost of travelling often makes more popular destinations and more luxurious accommodation possible, such as in Tyrol and Salzburg.
Example
Examples of Multi Generational Travel in Tyrol and Salzburg
Family hikes in the Alps
Tyrol’s Alps offer numerous child-friendly hiking trails. Whether grandparents enjoy the view or parents master puzzle tours with children – our VAYA Hotels are the ideal base, often just a few kilometres away from the most popular routes.
Cultural excursion to Salzburg
The historic city centre of Salzburg delights all age groups. After a day that includes Mozart’s birthplace and the fortress, our VAYA hotels offer relaxing comfort nearby.
Wellness for the whole family
A wide range of wellness offers in the Tyrolean thermal spas provide relaxation for the grandparents and splashing fun for the little ones. Our VAYA Hotels are perfectly tailored to these needs.
Tips for successful multi-generational trips
- Coordinate your packing list: Everyone packs for themselves, but we coordinate the preparation together – nobody wants to arrive at their holiday destination without a toothbrush.
- Plan activities: It’s worth planning a mix of action and relaxation so that nobody is overwhelmed.
- Ideas for the budget: Shopping and cooking together on site is easy on the wallet.

Why multi-generational travel is becoming increasingly popular
Multi-generational travel is more than just a travel trend – it is a way of prioritising togetherness. Especially in Tyrol and Salzburg, this trend is enriched with unique experiences.
Advantages for families and generations
The travelling trend allows us to create new memories together and enjoy special family time. Activities for every generation ensure that nobody misses out:
- Tyrol: child-friendly hikes, e.g. on the Wilder Kaiser, with playgrounds along the way. Just a short drive from our VAYA Fieberbrunn.
- Salzburg: cultural attractions such as Schloss Hellbrunn, which are exciting for young and old. Easily accessible from our VAYA Post Saalbach.
Strengthening family ties
Generations grow together through shared adventures. Tyrol and Salzburg offer ideal conditions for this:
- Tyrol: Family-friendly excursions, such as the Innsbruck Alpine Zoo, strengthen family bonds. The zoo is easy to reach from VAYA Seefeld and VAYA Kühtai.
- Salzburg: Thermal baths such as the Tauern Spa Kaprun offer relaxation for adults and fun pools for children. Our VAYA Kaprun and VAYA Zell am See nearby offer peace and quiet after a long day.
Share costs and resources
- Self-catering accommodation such as our Residence Saalbach by VAYA, VAYA Gerlos and VAYA St. Anton offer plenty of space for cooking together, which is easy on the budget.
- Summercards, such as the Saalbach Joker Card, Super. Sommer. Card. and Zell am See-Kaprun Sommerkarte make attractions cheaper and are available directly from our hotels.

Planning
Challenges and solutions for multi-generational travel
Travelling together across generations is an exciting travel trend, but it also brings with it some challenges. With thoughtful planning and flexible approaches, multi-gen trips become unforgettable experiences.
Planning and compromises
Multi-generational travel requires sophisticated planning to take everyone’s interests into account. A good approach is to alternate between active, relaxed and cultural activities.
- Tyrol: Between child-friendly hiking trails, such as on the Wilder Kaiser, and relaxing wellness in the Tyrolean thermal spas, there are suitable experiences for every generation.
