Day activity:
Trip to the Dachstein Glacier
Great views and a great hiking/climbing trip for an active family
Don't forget to book a time for the gondola to avoid queuing
And make sure you get to the glacier in good time, as you typically have to calculate time from the bottom up and down the mountain with a bus, as the car park up by the gondola is often full. The bus works very well and is free with a summer pass.
For children from around 10 years of age, you can take the Kleiner Gjadstein hiking/climbing route from the top of the gondola. It takes you well up to the top of one of the peaks of the Gletcher. Allow 2 hours for this. If you want to go higher, you'll need Via Feretta equipment. But Kleiner Gjaidstein can be done as an active family. Remember good shoes and an extra jumper, as it's colder than expected on the glacier.
