Details
Our day trip is the perfect combination for all water lovers who want to get soaked in the truest sense of the word. From the tip of your hair to your little toe, nothing will stay dry during the canyoning tour in the Almbachklamm, where you will jump into several natural rock pools along the way. After lunch, we will continue the adventure by rafting along the Salzach river. Look forward to many lively manoeuvres as you steer the dinghy and make a splash!
Tour programme
We will meet at 9am in our outdoor camp (parking available, approx. €5), where you can get your equipment and change in the separate cabins. Depending on the booked option, you will then drive either with your private car or with us to the gorge, where an introduction will be given by the guide.
After a very short ascent, we reach the entry point. The course can be adapted to your individual wishes - there are easy variations where difficult places can be avoided or roped down, while the advanced (or brave) among you can also dare higher jumps.
At the end of the tour, we will drive back to the camp, where you can take a shower and change. Now we have earned a hearty meal and have lunch at Gasthof Torrenerhof right next door at about 1 pm.
At 2 pm, we set off for tour number 2 on the Salzach, where we all go together with our bus. Depending on the requirements, the tours can also take place in the reverse order.
