Action sports Fun & adventure in Zell am See-Kaprun
Marvelling at Zell am See-Kaprun from above, abseiling in gorges and manoeuvring through white water rapids: All this sounds like the perfect adventure for you? Then you will find the perfect opportunity for fun and action in Austria in the Zell am See-Kaprun region.
Rafting in SalzburgerLand
The rubber dinghy heads for the rapids on white water: Now the commitment of everyone on board is called for! Under the guidance of a qualified guide, you and your team will make it through the foaming spray. What an experience! Rafting is a holiday adventure for anyone looking for that extra bit of action, and it is also suitable for families: Highly qualified guides and complete equipment, including life jacket and helmet, ensure maximum safety. In the Zell am See-Kaprun region, rafting is possible on the Salzach and Saalach rivers. The tours can be booked either for half a day or for a full day and depend on the age and white-water experience of the participants: challenging white-water rafting is also possible as a beginner-friendly tour, which can also be enjoyed with children.
Experience canyoning in Austria
As with rafting, canyoning is all about the fascination of water: except that the tour runs through gorges down the valley, over waterfalls and rocks. You can book your canyoning tour in the Almbach Gorge near Hallein in Zell am See-Kaprun: Together with qualified canyoning guides, you set off into the 1.2-kilometre-long gorge. At the start, some easy climbing, swimming and jumping passages await, before the gorge becomes narrower and narrower and you can choose between jumping and abseiling.
Tandem paragliding and paragliding courses
Thanks to the excellent thermal conditions, the Schmittenhöhe is a favourite launch site and meeting point for paragliding. From here you can start your tandem paragliding flight with an experienced pilot and soar high above Zell am See-Kaprun. If you would like to learn how to fly a paraglider yourself, you will find numerous course providers in the region who will teach you the correct technique from take-off to flight to skilful landing. You have the opportunity to acquire the Austrian and German paragliding licence and can then take off at various locations in Austria and Germany.
Skydiving above Lake Zell
This adventure also promises an adrenaline rush of a special kind: you can prove your courage with a tandem parachute jump from a height of 3,000 metres. You ascend in a transport plane, before the hatch opens in the air and you drop into the depths - safely hooked up to a professional skydiver. During this jump, you reach a speed of up to 200 km/h, before the main parachute finally opens and you have time to admire the unique scenery all around.
