Austria's best-known canyoning route
The Auerklamm is probably the most famous canyoning route in Austria. Slides 18 metres long, 40-metre abseils and a 16-metre jump provide pure adrenaline. The Alpenrosenklamm gorge above the Auerklamm gorge is easier. With its waterfalls and pools, it is also suitable for beginners.
Canyoning tours from easy to challenging
With its slides, jumps into deep pools and the Blue Grotto, the Rosengarten Gorge near Imst is one of the most beautiful canyoning areas in Tyrol. The lower part of the gorge is even suitable for adventurous families with children, while the upper part is quite challenging.
Gorge adventures along the torrents of the nature park
Some of the tributary streams of the Tiroler Lech have dug deep into the rock and are perfect for canyoning. The Sulzbach near Stockach and the Roßgumpenbach in Holzgau are particularly challenging, while others are ideal for a first taster tour for children.
Canyoning for young and old
With its waterfalls, pools and deep green ponds, the Tiroler Ache in Kaiserwinkel offers canyoning opportunities for young and old. The experienced guides will take you into the hidden corners of the gorge and put together a personalised tour for you.
Turquoise-coloured pools, high jumps
The Frauenbach in East Tyrol has it all: the 1,100 metre long route is so steep that there are hardly any walking passages. 26 abseiling points, jumps up to eight metres high into turquoise-green pools and, at the end, two abseils right next to the waterfalls await experienced canyoning fans.
Strudel pots in the "Blue Lagoon"
The "Blue Lagoon" with its blue pools is not only a natural jewel between Mayrhofen and Ginzling, but also one of the most suitable canyoning routes for children and beginners in Tyrol due to its low level of difficulty. 10-metre abseils still provide plenty of adrenaline.
Canyoning is the act of walking through a water-rich gorge from top to bottom. Depending on the natural conditions of the gorge, this involves abseiling, climbing, jumping or sliding with climbing equipment. The focus is on a very intense experience of nature, plenty of adrenaline and, depending on the difficulty, certainly a bit of overcoming.
In Tyrol there are many beautiful gorges and ravines that are suitable for canyoning, so there is a suitable route for every ability level. Nevertheless, there are some essential basic requirements: Of course, you must be able to swim, you should be in good health, strength, stamina and endurance are essential, depending on the length of the tour. You also need to be sure-footed and have a head for heights, which is particularly important when jumping or abseiling. Climbing experience is not essential, but an advantage.
Please bring swimwear for your canyoning adventure. All other equipment such as neoprene, climbing harness, carabiner and helmet will be provided by the provider on site.
When you book a canyoning tour, the transfer to the starting point and back from the bottom of the gorge is included. So you can concentrate fully on your canyoning adventure, the rest is organised for you.
