The perfect wave EVERY DAY
Rafting
On a rubber dinghy through the wild waters of the Imst outdoor region. Seriously? You bet! The rivers in and around the outdoor region are not only natural jewels, but also perfect for adrenaline-fuelled tours and sporting adventures. It's not for nothing that they are among the most popular whitewater routes in Europe. The reason for this is the strong currents, rapids and water rollers that transform a leisurely coffee trip into a wild ride - a breathtaking white water experience. This strengthens the body, nerves, mind and, above all, team spirit! Because only together can we paddle in the right direction, skilfully manoeuvre the raft around obstacles and pass heated narrow sections with a "We can do it!". You're sure to go into raptures, marvel and sweat. Let's place a bet!
Whether alone or with friends, as part of a club outing or as a team-building event, even as a family adventure with children aged 8 and over - rafting is not just a highlight for action fans, but an experience that you too can master! From May to October, you'll find your big adventure, the perfect children's rafting tour, the perfect incentive or simply the best time for unforgettable memories in the Outdooregion!
+8The best whitewater routes in Tyrol
The wide course of the river means that particularly challenging sections can be easily bypassed, making it ideal for beginners and children
The Imst Gorge is one of the most popular whitewater stretches in Europe and is ideal for rafting and kayaking. The degree of difficulty of the key sections varies depending on the water level. A calm start to the tour is followed by the first rapids, which are initially moderate but quickly escalate into an exciting ride through gushing white water.
The highlights of the route include sections such as the Memminger Walze, the Ötzschwall and the Chaos, which require teamwork and commitment. Thanks to the open nature of the river, however, particularly rough passages can be avoided. After around 14 kilometres, the tour ends at the exit point in Haiming-Magerbach.
Wild and romantic the Ötztaler Ache shows a completely different face depending on the water level
The lowest section of the Ötztaler Ache from Ötz to Haiming is the most frequently travelled and ideal for rafting. This challenging whitewater section is characterised by strong currents, powerful rollers, long rapids, few obstructions and only a few eddies. Important key sections are the forest gorge, the Brunauer Wehr and the Konstruktor. The Ötztaler Ache flows into the Inn about one kilometre below the Brunauer Wehr, which has to be bypassed. The last part of the route is identical to the Imst gorge and offers an exciting end to the tour.
An impressive sight - the tour leads directly through the town centre of Landeck
The Landeck Gorge is heavily dependent on the water level and impresses with its powerful current in ideal conditions. The top 2 kilometres, from the wooden bridge at Fließ to Nesselgarten, are mainly used by kayakers. This section is categorised as difficulty level V and requires great skill at high water levels. From the rafting entry point in Nesselgarten, the route becomes somewhat more moderate with category III-IV white water. The tour starts here at the so-called entry hole, followed by the Rumpelkiste and the Bananaboat, before continuing through the Fließerau. The valley becomes narrower and narrower and the actual Landeck Gorge begins. At the end of the tour, you are greeted in Landeck by the old Gerberbrücke bridge and the impressive Landeck Castle, which sits enthroned on a steep rock.
The Sanna is a tributary of the Inn, which is formed west of Pians by the confluence of the Rosanna (from the Arlberg and Stanzertal valleys) and the Trisanna (from the Silvretta and Paznaun regions). The water level is strongly influenced by the snowmelt in May and June and by heavy or persistent rainfall.
As a steep and heavily blocked mountain river, the Sanna is much more difficult than the Inn, even when the water level is low. Short, intense waves alternate with heavy breakers and rollers on the six-kilometre stretch, which places high demands on the fitness and ability of the participants.
