Hi! Can kids aged 6 and 11 walk this trail in summer, in August?

Yes this trail doesn’t require special skills in summer. But keep in mind the distance and make sure they have experience walking long distances in one day.

It’s 10 km per day which is a lot for inexperienced hikers

Is it possible to walk this trail in regular shoes if there is no snow? (later this week)

Hello, yes you can walk in regular hiking shoes if there is no snow on a trial.
