Adventure between rock & water

What is canyoning?

Canyoning – also called “schluchteln” – means traversing a gorge from top to bottom. Along the way, you switch between different types of movement:

•  Walking and hiking through the riverbed
•  Sliding over water-shaped rocks
•  Jumping into clear mountain pools
•  Abseiling down waterfalls
•  Short climbing and swimming passages

Everything is done with professional equipment such as a wetsuit, helmet, harness, and rope. Every tour is different – depending on water levels, terrain, and difficulty.

Canyoning around Flachau

The Salzburger Sportwelt region offers ideal conditions for canyoning tours of all levels. From beginner-friendly gorges with lots of natural slides to more technically demanding tours with abseiling sections and jumps – everything is possible.

Travel to the tour is arranged individually:

•  with your own car
•  or by public transport using the Guest Mobility Card

This keeps you flexible and independent – just the way an active holiday should be.

Our role at almlust

Even though we no longer run the tours ourselves, you’re still in the best hands with us. There is always someone in the house who knows the tours, understands the providers, and can honestly tell you what suits you best.

Especially valuable: Christoph – host, rafting, canyoning, and mountain guide, as well as a certified ski instructor. He knows the mountains from every perspective and knows exactly which gorge makes sense under which conditions. We’re happy to share this experience with you – personally, straightforwardly, and honestly.

Who is canyoning suitable for?

Canyoning is more versatile than many people think:

•  For sporty beginners with a good basic fitness level
•  For families with older, water-confident children (depending on the tour)
•  For adventurers who want to experience nature up close

What you need: surefootedness, swimming skills, and the willingness to engage with water, rock, and movement.
