Ötztal: Obere Auerklamm Canyoning Tour for Beginners｜Austria

Our sporty beginner-level canyoning adventure in the "Obere Auerklamm" in stunning Ötztal, nestled in the heart of the Tyrolean Alps, promises an exhilarating mix of fun and excitement! This tour offers the perfect blend of: jumps, slides and abseiling.

Fully equipped with our high-quality canyoning gear, we set off together in our comfortable minibuses to the canyon's starting point. Upon arrival, our certified canyoning guide provides a detailed safety briefing with all the important instructions for navigating the canyon safely – ensuring that your adventure begins prepared and secure.

*The start of the canyon – let the adventure begin!*
Passing a picturesque wooden bridge, we arrive at the first descent. A fixed handrail makes it easy and safe to climb down. Following the water’s path through rugged terrain, we reach the first major challenge: a 5-meter-high abseiling point. Here, our guide demonstrates the proper abseiling technique – an exciting moment where everyone gets involved.

*The canyon narrows – and the excitement intensifies.*
As we progress, the canyon becomes even more captivating. The roaring sound of waterfalls echoes through the narrow rock walls. A 3-meter-long handrail leads us safely to the next highlight: the **infamous Devil’s Hole**, which we abseil through under the guide's expert supervision. From here, only a breathtaking 9-meter abseiling section and a short swim separate us from the first 3-meter jump – though jumping and sliding are always optional. Every section can be abseiled, depending on your preference!

*Pure action – slides, jumps, and mesmerizing water landscapes.*
The canyon leads us to a series of thrilling stations: a 5-meter slide, a 2-meter jump, an exhilarating 9-meter slide, and several winding water basins. But the ultimate highlight awaits at the end: the legendary **15-meter high-speed slide**, carved by water over millennia into the rock. Adrenaline is guaranteed – this is an experience you’ll never forget!

*The grand finale.*
After a well-deserved break and a rush of adrenaline, we continue refreshed. A short swim brings us to the final big challenge: a 7-meter-high descent. Here, you can choose your preferred way down: abseiling, sliding, or jumping – the choice is yours! After this exciting finale, we exit the canyon via a secured steel cable and return to the outdoor center.

Back at the base, we celebrate the successful tour with our signature canyoning schnapps. To finish off the adventure, warm showers and spacious changing rooms are available – the perfect ending to an unforgettable experience!
