Optional Excursions - Austrian Alps
Whitewater Rafting
The Enns River in Austria offers some of the country’s best whitewater rafting. As our tour participant, you have the unique possibility to enjoy an afternoon on the river. About 45 min from your hotel in the town of Schladming is where the adventure begins. Schladminger Rafting Tours provides all the gear necessary – wetsuit, helmet, boots and life jacket. After donning the appropriate attire, your tour bus will take you upstream to the boarding point of your rafting spree. After thorough instructions are given by our experienced rafting guides, ride the current in groups of 8-10 people per boat, each with their own guide on-board. Rapids, narrows and even a small waterfall ensure excitement; the tour is tame even if you have never rafted before. Depending on the water level, the Enns River near Schladming is a 3 or medium on the difficulty scale.
