Canyoning

The most beautiful canyoning routes in Tyrol

Are you adventurous, love nature and especially the element of water? Then canyoning is just the thing for you. There are plenty of gorges, ravines and waterfalls in Tyrol that are ideal for canyoning adventures. Together with trained canyoning guides, you can abseil down the most impressive gorges to experience the power of water up close.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
