Tour programme
- Preparation:
We meet at our base in Haiming. You can park your car directly on site. Our guide will provide you with the necessary equipment at the base and give you a safety briefing and explain everything you need to know about the tour. On this tour, you will be accompanied by two guides to make the most of the tour. As soon as everyone is ready, our minibuses will take you directly to the starting point.
- Tour:
This tour will be a particularly wild ride on the Ötztaler Ache. The high waves will accompany us throughout, and we will go through various exciting passages. The water will splash in your face and you will have to master the river skilfully as a team. At the halfway point, we will take a short breather before facing our final opponent, the "Boa Constructa". The guide will capture your wildest moments on camera. You can enjoy the rafting adventure for a whole 14 km. Towards the end of the tour, we are back in the Inn. After all the action, you can treat yourself to a cool drink at the end of the tour.
- Return:
Afterwards, it's time to head back to the base. Hot showers and a spacious changing room await you there. You then have the opportunity to relax in the sun in our inviting garden. On request, we can organize a cosy campfire, and real sports fans can also try their luck on our slackline. In addition, you can relax in the outdoor swimming pool, which you can reach after a 10-minute drive, on the large sunbathing lawn with free entrance.
