Experience summer in the Zillertal actively
Have you had enough of hiking and biking in the Zillertal and are ready for a change? For our active vacationers, there is so much more to discover.
Canyoning and rafting
Experience the power of whitewater, rappel over the waterfall, and dare to jump into the crystal-clear water! With canyoning, you will go on an adventurous hike through the Ronachschlucht gorge, and with rafting, you must compete against the rushing water of the Wildgerlosbach. Fun and great memories are guaranteed! The necessary equipment is offered by providers in Gerlos.
Paragliding
At an altitude of almost 2,500 meters, you have the absolute best view of Gerlos and the Zillertal. This panoramic feeling gets even better when the ground disappears beneath your feet - in the truest sense of the word! With paragliding, you can feel an unlimited sense of freedom and a rush of adrenaline as you effortlessly glide until you arrive safely in the valley after an extraordinary flight. But don't worry, you don't have to fly alone. Experienced tandem pilots ensure that everything runs smoothly. The launch site for paragliding is located above Gerlos, and you can book your flight in town.
Durlaßboden reservoir
When the summer sun is shining, there is nothing better that taking a refreshing dip in the water. In Gerlos, we recommend driving directly to the Durlaßboden reservoir located 5 km east with sunbathing area, children's playgrounds, and magnificent Alpine views. The lake offers not only pleasant water temperatures for swimming but also the opportunity for great sailing trips. Here you will also find Austria's highest surfing school!
