Wild water fun: Canyoning & rafting in South Tyrol

The cold, clear water splashes wildly across the bow, while the boat is tossed back and forth by the raging rapids. The passengers paddle against the current with full power, as they all sit in one boat. Rafting in South Tyrol is a very special family experience. Whether on the leisurely, the sporty, or the extreme tour – rivers and streams all over the country are perfect for the lively fun. Pure thrills await you on a family holiday in South Tyrol, including canyoning. Here you can conquer deep gorges eye to eye with thunderous waterfalls, dare to jump into crystal clear water, and glide down smooth rocks. All this, of course, only in the company of experienced guides who know the area like the back of their hand. The hosts of the Familienhotels Südtirol will tell you where the best whitewater adventures await you.

Wild, wild water: the coolest adventures on the wild water

Still waters run deep! On the Isarco/Eisack, the Rienza/Rienz, or the Adige/Etsch, you can paddle with a professional and your loved ones and prepare yourself for bigger whitewater adventures.

A wild wave ride awaits you on the Passirio/Passer river. Large rollers and high waves provide non-stop adrenaline kicks on the nine-kilometre-long track. For experienced paddlers and fearless, sporty newcomers.

Small wildcats love Wild River Tubing. On a small torrent parallel to the Passirio/Passer river, you go in a special inflatable ring over rapids, curves, and slides. For safe water fun!

Abseiling along the waterfall, jumping down from the rock, or sliding into the cold water – canyoning in Valclava/Kalmtal, a natural valley near Neuhaus in Val Passiria/Passeiertal near Meran, is ideal for families with children from nine years of age.
