Canyoning Austria
The ultimate outdoor adventure
Bye-bye comfort zone, I'll go ravine trekking. It’s a true challenge also for those who are experienced outdoor enthusiasts. After all, you don't abseil down in a waterfall every day, slide over rocks into ice-cold natural pools or splash in from a height of several meters. A one-of-a-kind experience that lets the adrenaline level bubble over and provides the finest material for your private heroic story. You will find some of Austria's most exciting mountain brooks roaring through narrow canyons in the Tirolean Ötztal.
All-inclusive border crossing through water and rock
As challenging as it sounds at first, canyoning in Ötztal is also a highlight for those who are inexperienced in gorges. On a guided tour you can confidently leave the choice of route and equipment to the professionals. The certified guides start with a detailed safety introduction in the group and show the correct behavior in the canyon, including climbing, sliding and jumping techniques. Even when out and about, the professional instructors always keep an eye on all participants. Transfers to the access point and back to the home base of the respective provider are usually included in the tour price. You can really only concentrate on one thing: the weaker self on the chain, or better on the climbing rope. To calm your nerves, you can avoid some tricky spots that are not suitable for all on a separate “chicken line”.
