Action & adventure
The Salzburg region promises visitors plenty of action & adventure with rafting, canyoning, zip lines & more
Perhaps you thought the Salzburg region was a place for connoisseurs and relaxation, full of beautiful landscapes, art, culture and sightseeing destinations? Don't be deceived! The diverse natural landscape has even more to offer – any number of adventure playgrounds and plenty of opportunities for action and adventure. In short, the perfect change of pace after a day of shopping in the city or a business event. And a programme full of action & adventure makes a fabulous option for your team-building exercise or post-conference activity!
That's enough relaxation – it's time to get the adrenaline flowing!
Plenty of visitors are happy to laze around on the shores of the lake, visit art installations or cultural monuments or explore the district on e-bikes, but what if you're looking for a serious adrenaline rush? How far will you go in search of action & adventure? The Salzburg region is the perfect destination for you.
Take a look at what the Salzburg region in Saxony has to offer in the way of action & adventure:
- Rafting & kayaking on the wild waters of the Salzach and Saalach rivers
- Canyoning near Salzburg in the spectacular ravines of the Wiestal, Lofer & Strubklamm
- High ropes & zip lines at the Salzburg climbing park of Waldbad Anif
- Summer toboggan runs, of which there are plenty – in Hallein, Strobl, Fuschl & more
- Climbing in Salzburg, either indoors in the climbing hall or on well-known high-ropes courses
Speeding through the air
The climbing park and high-ropes course at Waldbad Anif is a classic option. The individual courses are named after local Salzburg mountain peaks. The Mönchsberg, Schlenken and Watzmann will really show what you're made of. 110 different stations are not to be sneezed at, and you'll be able to swing from tree to tree like a forest creature or climb colossal spiderwebs – by which time you'll really feel you've earned a refreshing leap into the cool lake waters. But the real highlight is the zip line across the forest pool. The cable spans a distance of 300 metres and passengers reach speeds of up to 60km/h – ultimate aerial excitement.
Climbing fun guaranteed
If you like to explore the vertical, the Salzburg region has plenty of fantastic climbing options to offer. Breathtaking views await at the Drachenwand fixed rope route, high above the Mondsee lake. Did you know that the Kapuzinerberg, in the city of Salzburg, is also home to the City Wall fixed rope course? In bad weather or during the colder months, the climbing hall in the city of Salzburg itself is a popular option.
Action in the water
Where better to experience the untamed power of nature than on a raft or kayak? There's nothing quite like it. If you're looking for some water sports action, you can choose between the wild waters of the Salzach, Saalach and Lammer rivers. Adventurous visitors can find a variety of activities – tours ranging from beautiful, leisurely panoramic rides through to challenging wild-water expeditions on mini-rafts. Push your boundaries on the waters of Salzburg.
Into the abyss
The ravines of Wiestal, Lofer and the Strubklamm promise the last word in adventure, with an enormous variety of activities on offer. Abseiling, diving and sliding down slopes carved by the water – canyoning offers a thrill a minute. With the latest equipment and the professional instruction of a canyoning guide, safety is a key consideration – along with fun, of course.
