Rafting & Canyoning

Rushing rapids, glistening water, glorious shorelines. And don’t just experience all of this from the river banks, enjoy it right there out on the water. Ride a boat through the waves from Kitzloch Gorge to Schwarzach (distance ca. 15 km), conquering the wild water armed only with a paddle: this is what rafting is all about. Here, everyone literally is in the same boat. Working as a team, you will take on the untamed water of the Salzach. Also along for the ride, of course: a state-certified boat guide.

One thing’s for sure: During every single tour, the bubbling, spraying water is bound to captivate each and every participant. A unique encounter with the unique natural power of water!

Canyoning:
Canyoning, a blend between hiking, rappelling, climbing, waterfall jumping and swimming. Ravines turn into slides, rocky pools into whirlpools, outcroppings into diving platforms. Canyoning is the newest adventure to reach the Alps. An adventure for all who wish to combine fun and excitement at the same time.
