Rafting in the Ötztal, Tyrol

Keep your chin up, even if the water swamps your boat.

Rafting in the Ötztal, Tyrol challenges you to fight primal forces and conquer your own fears. The wild rapids of the roaring river know no mercy. Out here, the laws of Mother Nature are all that counts. Crazy swirls, currents, drops, and waves work together to achieve one goal: to flip your raft. Time to face reality: this isn’t a game. Are you ready for real adventure?

Before venturing into this ultimate trial of nature, you will be given an introduction on white-water rafting, safety, and use of equipment by the most renowned raft guides in all of Tyrol and Austria. We will train you to become king and queen of the river, and knock the fear of water out of you. Because this much is certain: you will get wet. Since you’ll be wearing a wetsuit, this won’t be a problem. A skill that’s definitely going to be handy though is knowing how to jump ship. We’re ready to teach you how to take a fall, in the literal sense of the word, and also how best to avoid getting swept away by the rapids during your rafting experience in the Ötztal, Tyrol.

Once you have participated in our safety talk, we’ll send you out on the river to fight rapid waters and protect your boat from flipping. As this requires quite some strength and coordination with your team, rafting in the Ötztal, Tyrol is the ideal team building event. It is suited for incentives, corporate groups, school excursions, and workshops of all kinds.
