Mountain Scooter Adventure: Fun and Excitement in the Zillertal

Action and fun are guaranteed for the whole family – not just for kids and parents, but even the grandparents will have a great time! While riding, your feet are positioned directly under your body’s center of gravity, unlike biking. This gives you a riding experience more similar to skiing due to the standing posture. The mountain scooters at Penken are available in both a more relaxed and a sportier version, making them perfect for leisurely exploration tours as well as faster descents.
