In Mieming's neighbouring resort Obsteig lies the huge "Kinderland Grünberg". On the large winter playground, children and beginners alike will find perfect conditions for getting some first practice in, but also adults can get some swings done, whilst the little ones are entertained in ski school. Up the mountain on the practice lift, and down again past colourful obstacles or down longer pistes for more experienced skiers, or choose to take the toboggan instead. The restaurant and children's area in Obsteig are welcome access points for families.
