Experience Salzburg Differently – Rafting for Adventurers

A trip to the Salzburg region can be many things: mountains, nature, fresh air. But most of all, it’s often one thing – peaceful. This experience shows you a different side of Salzburg. While white water rafting, you trade scenic views for action and get to know the Salzach up close.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for a relaxed introduction to adventure or a more experienced rafter ready to take on splashing rapids, you’ll find the perfect mix of nature, water, and adrenaline here.

Your Introduction to White Water

After a short transfer from the meeting point, your rafting experience begins near the impressive Hohenwerfen Castle. Following a brief safety briefing from your guide and fully equipped, you’re ready for your first paddle strokes.

The initial sections give you time to get familiar with the raft, the commands, and the water—before the Salzach gradually reveals its power.

Between Sandbanks and Rapids

Over a distance of around 10 kilometers, a varied route awaits you along the Salzach. You’ll glide past sandbanks, paddle through calmer stretches, and repeatedly encounter faster waves and splashing sections.

Depending on water levels and the chosen tour, things can get more intense: narrow passages, blocked rapids like the “Labyrinth,” or powerful sections like the “Railway” provide a true white water experience.

The Salzach Pulls You In

Between calm stretches and action-packed sections, there’s always time to take in the Salzburg landscape from a completely new perspective—right on the water instead of from the shore.

Whether you cool off in the river or get soaked by the waves, one thing is guaranteed: you won’t stay dry.
