Adventure: paragliding, rafting, e-bikes
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 63 GetYourGuide reviewers
A first canyoning trip that lets you choose your own level: every jump and slide can be abseiled or walked round, but the 8-metre natural water slide is hard to resist. You need to be a confident swimmer and at least 12.
Starts inHaimingSummer
You meet at the Cankick outdoor centre in Haiming, at the mouth of the Ötztal, about 30 minutes from Innsbruck. You are given a thick neoprene wetsuit, canyoning shoes, harness and helmet, then a minibus takes the group up to the Alpenrosenklamm.
After a full safety briefing, the first move is an abseil from a bridge straight into the gorge, past a waterfall. Then come a 4-metre abseil, a water slide and a stepped section, followed by two longer abseils of 7 and 15 metres and the first 4-metre jumps. Your guide shows you each move, and you can bypass any jump.
The highlight is a natural rock slide about 8 metres long and 5 metres high, worn smooth by the water. Your guide teaches the technique and you can go down a second time if you like.
The canyon then opens out and a final 10-metre abseil takes you out. Back at the centre there are warm showers, roomy changing rooms and a canyoning schnapps. The guide can take photos on a waterproof camera if you ask. Plan on about four hours in all.
In summer
The operator runs the Alpenrosenklamm from 15 April to 15 October, with starts at 08:30, 13:00 and 16:30. The water is cold all season, which is what the 7 mm wetsuit is for; on a hot day it is a welcome way to cool off.

This is a true beginners' canyon with nothing you are forced to do, run from a centre with showers and changing rooms. If you want water action with less climbing, the Imster Schlucht rafting trip from the same base is the gentler choice.
