In Austria, rafting routes are classified into six difficulty levels. Our signature route is rated 2+, which means it is an easy level and is therefore ideal for beginners and families with children.
Rafting in the Zillertal
Nonstop action!
Rafting is a fun sport that brings you up close to the water—and sometimes right in the middle of it. You’ll navigate wild currents and waves in an inflatable raft. The Ziller River is a perfect route for beginners and is also suitable for families with children ages 6 and up.
4-kilometer rafting route
Rafting in the Zillertal is an adventure and a wonderful way to experience nature. Our signature route takes you along the current of the Ziller River, starting at Kreuzlau near Mayrhofen and ending in Hippach—a total of 4 kilometers of action you won’t soon forget!
If water levels prevent us from using the regular rafting route, we will switch to an alternative section of the river to continue the adventure.

What do you need for rafting in Tyrol? Not much: swimwear and a towel are all you need; every participant receives the rest of the equipment before the rafting tour begins. This includes a wetsuit to protect against the sometimes chilly waters of the Ziller, as well as a life jacket and a helmet. After a brief briefing from our guides, you’re ready to go: now it’s time to pull together to conquer the wild waters!
After picking up our gear at the outdoor base, we’ll head to Mayrhofen, where the tour begins. Following a detailed briefing and a practice paddle, we’ll launch the boat into the crystal-clear waters of the Ziller River. Working as a team, we’ll navigate the river’s waves and rapids. The Ziller is a perfect tour for beginners and is also suitable for families with children ages 6 and up.
