Would you like to visit the archeoParc with a youth group during summer holidays?
When the nights become short and the days get long in the main valleys, then it’s vacation time! What is more obvious than to combine a trip with your children’s group back to the time of Ötzi with a day’s excursion in the cool Schnals Valley? Bus number 161 runs every hour and will bring you directly to us.
We offer our summer tours in the following languages: German, Italian, English, and bilingual.
Cave artists (age 5 and above)
Attention! Fake (age 7 and above)
Hunting with Ötzi (age 9 and above)
Stone Age logistics (age 11 and above)
Adventure Day – 6 hours (age 8 and above)
Adventure Day – 24 hours (age 10 and above)
We will also be glad to carry out our program proposals for school classes for your group, as well. Please take into consideration which of our programs your children may have already seen. If you wish to avoid duplications, we can recommend reserving one of our vacation programs. That is because our summer programs and school-year programs differ from each other.
Do you have your own idea for a program?
We will be pleased to customize a program for your group. Please just contact us.

Cave artists
(k1) Paint Just Like in the Stone Age
Our ancestors knew how to make paints by mixing ocher, charcoal, various earths, and a binding agent. After a brief explanatory tour, we will grind our own pigments, make a brush out of a twig, and paint our own little cave paintings. While they dry, we will try grinding flour on a Stone Age mill and bake bread on a stick.
Target group: age 5 and above
Duration: 2.5 hours
Cost: 11 euros

Attention! Fake
(k2) Making Stone Age Jewelry
Incredible but true: already our prehistoric ancestors produced falsifications. Archeologists found fake canine tooth made of simple wood. Together we discover these particular funds and invent a stone age crime story about it. Afterwards we produce a pendant out of poplar bark and bake stick bread around the campfire.
Target group: age 7 and above
Duration: 2.5 hours
Cost: 11 euros

Hunting with Ötzi
(k3) Making a model bow
When Ötzi hiked trough our woods and mountains, now more than 5,000 years ago, he carried a quiver, arrows and a half finished bow with him. After a short introduction we produce a model bow out of hazel wood, which the children take home as a souvenir. We finish the program with archery shooting.
Target group: age 9 and above
Duration: 2.5 hours
Cost: 11 euros

Stone Age logistics
(k4) Sewing leather just like in the Stone Age
Today, it is Tupperware containers and aluminum foil that solve our smaller everyday logistical problems. Two containers made of birch bark and a belt bag made of leather rendered similar services to Ötzi. After a brief explanatory tour through our exhibition, we will try sewing leather, followed by Paleolithic spear throwing. Children may take home the small leather pouches they make, perfect for storing little treasures.
Target group: age 11 and above
Duration: 2.5 hours
